My work transforms straightforward evocations of nature into expressions of human emotions. The line in my work is influenced by the rhythms in music and my love for 60s, early 70s retro furniture. The obsessive use of the sphere carries the suggestion of movement and circulation. I embrace the vivid use of abstraction, floating forms and super saturated color as an extension of painting. The work is at times a cheerful take on the natural world and on the other hand having a sinister edge.

Some sculptures possess a childlike, romantic innocence. This work is the call of memory, which attempts to sustain the vision of childhood in the face of the ongoing assault of age. To me, childhood is the time when the invisible world of the imagination seemed as concrete and plausible as nature. The pastel colors may evoke candies and baby clothes. I want the viewer’s first impression to be that of children finding a new toy, desiring to touch it and bring it to their mouth. The dream-like ‘candy field’ of bulbous forms on stems is intended as a hallucinatory field of flowers, but it also operates as an ironic reference to the oral fixations underpinning contemporary consumer culture.

Sensuality guides the relationship between the work and the spectator, a much more immediate contact to be established through the senses of sight, touch and taste. I choose to take everything (subject or style) from my own subconscious impulses and inner being. My inspiration is fantasy and I know that nostalgia is doing its ironic work.
