Artist Statement

My artwork has always been driven by my personal experiences. It feeds on my emotions and thoughts; it feeds on my life.

The Images are dark and grainy, intimate and close. The light comes from behind, exposes dirty hands digging deeper and deeper. The sequence unfolds in front of your eyes. The objects are the evidence of the past.

The lens sees inside and out. It is a witness to the process of change.
