The world today brims with stuff and things. To understand this overflowing, my practice explores the intrinsic properties of materials. 

My studio work starts with a fascination with what is discarded, found, taken and given. To challenge the boundaries between painting, sculpture and installation, my practice attempts to animate awkward conjunctions that illuminate the half-light between perception and action. These create what can be likened to new sentences, but sentences that appear to be empty of meaningful grammar. This is a process of shifting things into language-like forms and then back again. In this way I mix unstable components and create a new vocabulary.
