In my work I practice a traditional approach to sculpture. The character of the form, spatial composition, plasticity and the imagery— these are just some of the elements a sculptor engages with. At the same time, like anyone else, I’m fascinated by modern life in all its manifestations.
My art emerges from the combination of these things.
