"I work with sculpture in a time-consuming process that serves as a platform for examining the human condition. The works often contain reprocessed, delicate plant material. Therefore, they aren’t constant, but are undergoing small, change processes over time. This is part of the works and of their interpretation. The frailty of existence has proven to be an inexorable theme in my work.

I hope that my works provide a poetic insight into our physical world, and create the spark to delve into our own non-physical human existence. "
