Art cuts through the veil of certainty and exposes the illusion that protects the status quo.

I like the idea that art can communicate and help facilitate change.

I am an artist, not a creator. An artist is a sophisticated thief and a poet of the world.

I am mainly interested in how the body, the world and the artwork are all brought together in a perfomative material relationship through which they all become singularly meaningful entities.
