Briefly About My Work
Since the brain is, as we know, our primary archive, I begin by drawing from memory—often based on mythological tales, fables, or science fiction I have read. This is a method of attempting to establish a communication with the unconscious.
Gradually, my own experiences intervene. I often process everyday impressions, such as visual communication in the cityscape and media, as well as the traces and actions we leave behind, more or less consciously. These impressions often trigger a process where I attempt to view contemporary phenomena in a broader context, like threads tracing back through the culture of text and signs. In a balance between chance and control, the works become more representative and emerge as a collage, without leaning toward illustration. They come into being through a dialogue between various elements. In the tension between personal and collective memory, the unconscious and the conscious, what I call an ur-image arises.
