My works are informed by a multitude of sources, but I am primarily interested in the examination of technology and its effects on our perception. Google images often act as intellectual and compositional starting points; they remain as a phantom presence on the canvas in the highly abstracted gestural completed works. My painting, printmaking and sculptural practice equally assert the role of art to provoque thought and reflection, and express the contemporary condition of the individual and society. Berlin, October 2024
