About the Artist:

My works are influenced by my bi-cultural background, travels and life
experience in general. It is the accumulation of all this that I eventually
translate into design elements and use in creating my works.
From the idea comes the design. The process is most important and I try to
push the limits of both technique and material; sometimes it works,
sometimes it does not... . There is something very Zen about it. New
discoveries are always taking place.
My ambition is that people will discover their own stories through my work,
therefore I steer clear of too many explanations and clarifications. Shapes
and materials are never unequivocal and one can interpret them in different
ways.
