Artist's Statement : Usually, I start with a concept, but my pieces tend to develop along plans of their own. They are like living organisms captured in a moment within their natural process of transformation. I conceive most of my pieces as contemporary artifacts for a democratic mythology that includes spirituality and sensuality, as well as politics and humor. I am interested in breaking categories and linear hierarchical systems, in marrying cultures, times and ways of thinking.
