Working in response to the immediate environment and culture, my usual process involves collecting found-images from the real world creating visual metaphors that trigger shifts in perception. In this way the random, ephemeral and mundane are deconstructed and transmuted. Rather than arrive with a preconceived idea, I assimilate first-hand perceptions, and find inspiration through networking and interaction with a particular environment. Moreover, to a certain extent, my process undermines artistic autonomy and ownership. In this regard I enjoy entering into collaborations where the boundaries between individuals blur and expand into less predictable, more interesting artistic territories. Projects thus develop a life of their own.

In this way, I combine perennial themes and interests, with my own and others' spontaneous perspectives and experiences. Essentially I am interested in moments, forgotten, remembered or unnoticed, in images that are able to trigger the collective consciousness. My work is the telling of known and unknown stories, personal and public, visual narratives that speak about metamorphosis, rebirth and the ephemeral, infinite nature of life.
