Artist's Statement
My work evolves from the interaction of diverse themes. I see it as a
fusion of concepts varying from subjective histories to quotidian
references. For example, I appropriate and rework images and ideas from
art history, different types of magazines, free shopping guides, images
and travel. During my image making process, I use memory and
imagination, with reasoning and intuition. My images are subjective: Who
am I? - What do I know? - What are my defined roles and their
interactions within society? This accumulation of diverse ideas in the
form of related/ unrelated charged images is my way of comparing and
presenting wide-ranging issues and concepts to produce a thought
provoking image. I want to see my imagery as a potential code that can
carry multiple interpretations, rather than a single meaning.
