I want to create images that will set in motion a process between the work,
my intuition and imagination, and those of the viewer. An intimate, perhaps
even poetic, dialogue has to take place in that narrow space. There is the outer
surface and there is the inside. There is tension between the two, impulses that
ceaselessly pull me back and forth.
According to the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher, Empedocles, the life of a
human being starts when the body parts are detached and scattered separately.
Arms without shoulders, head without a neck and different body parts moving
on the face of the earth like human beings, until love moves them to unite into
a complete creature (without any guarantee of functionality).
I feel as though I am working with those severed body parts when I try to
imbue the breath of life even into the ready-mades in my sculpture and collages.
I strive to create a new whole, sometimes with a clear meaning, sometimes
without it.
