STATEMENT
I revisit important works over time, as my life brings things that remind me of them, as they want to become alive again, having grown. All pieces, in whatever stage or edition, come from my soul and psyche, touching upon other natural forms and organizations, and are refashioned. I don’t repeat ideas; each project is surprising, yet each can link in interpretation and simplicity with both my mind and, I hope, with yours.
