Bodies are, to me, surfaces ~ inhabited in layered, sentient ways.
In my artistic work, I engage with vivid sensations that are held back, contained by surfaces — and yet, unpredictably, like water in a pipe, they keep finding small holes in the system through which they can escape and reveal themselves.
It is about the choice between suppression and safety on one side, and self-liberation and ecstasy on the other. Both sides are in constant interaction, each continually threatening the other's existence.
In the open process of image-making, I search for fluid transitions between these polar forms of life: the outer surface that promises safety, and an uncontrollable, living inner space.

A collection of works — each piece a study of what surfaces hold back, and what quietly finds its way through.
