Artist Statement
My creation process is intuitive, experimental and spontaneous. Images are often abstract and include elements of nostalgia.
Images by artists such as Pierre Cordier, Len, Lye, James Welling, Adam Fuss, Susan Derges and Marco Breuer inspire me to investigate the boundaries of where my image making can go.
