My work begins with questions and observations that affect me directly. I do not always understand at first why they stay with me, but they remain present and gradually take shape through making.
I do not begin with a fixed medium. Instead, I look for the form and material that can carry each question most precisely. Making allows me to examine perceptions, reactions, and contradictions that cannot be resolved through thought alone. Rather than providing an answer, the process can alter my relationship to what I encounter, even when it cannot be resolved.
My practice moves between long and short breaths. Some works develop over extended periods, gathering recurring questions, physical labour, and layers of thought. Others arise more spontaneously in response to a situation and often allow for humour or a slight shift in familiar images. I am particularly interested in small, fragile, and easily overlooked things, and in the ways we relate to them and to one another.
Underlying my work is the belief that change does not come only through large gestures or dramatic interventions. Small, persistent movements can also shift something over time. This attitude shapes both my artistic practice and the way I try to relate to materials, situations, and others—with attention, responsibility, and persistence.
