Paper is my main medium. I’ve learnt to create images from paper cuts. Even if I have no idea what to do, I sit at my desk and start cutting papers without any plans. After a while, there's a bunch of papers on the table and things start flowing.
My work comes from observation. Real life, the internet, music, movies, all merged together into one thing. It's a big blurry gray area in which different disciplines mix, and the analog and digital world find each other. Many times I’ve tried to define it but that only stops me; I’ll just rather make the work and let it find its space.
The workspace is really important for my image creation, I can't work in a tidy space. Having a messy desk full of cuts is the best way to get ideas flowing and great for discovering new color pal- ettes. Many of the things that trigger ideas in my work are things I’ve found on the table or going through an old folder, generally stuff that was not done intentionally.
I love creating images, I have no idea where I’m heading.
