"My
work is created intuitively. I begin by simply taking a line
for a walk and allowing an image to develop however it wishes.
I like being surprised by images which manifest over time as
I apply simple materials to a simple surface. The images I create
do not have any absolute meaning or narrative, and I have no
goal when I create something other than to entertain myself
through its creation, but at the same time, I feel that an image
is only successful when it evokes a sense of mystery. An image
is complete when I feel I have exhausted the possibilities of
the surface and transformed it into something a little bit magical,
something which even the most casual viewer can appreciate as
a well-crafted object."
