Maybe the questions I ask in my work will never have official solutions. I try to answer myself by making and playing. My questions are concerned with limits of the body, limits of the mind and looking.


As the idea of embodiment becomes an ethos of our culture, I want to know if our carnality really defines our experience? Creating becomes a way for me to make objects that visibly variate our sense of what we find attractive and question the limits of materials. By extending and often exceeding limits of materials, which often include the body, I want to address the idea of incompleteness and dependence. I value these discarded ideas.


How do things, humans, conditions become attractive? Is there any sort of distinction between desirability and revulsion? I don’t know, but I don’t believe they are very different.
