- my work -

I am a multidisciplinary artist whose work includes collage, print, sculpture, photography and video. My current work explores aspects from metaphysics, existentialism, psychology, occult-

ism and popular culture. Reassembling appropriated material, photographing oblique configura-tions and building totemic structures; my current practice consists of a series of ‘mystifications’ deploying the reflective sheen of the modern commodity and the hermetic allure of the occult.

- collages -

Coming from a ‘revisionist’ perspective; my collage practice appropriates images found in sec-ond-hand books using them as vehicles of metaphysical inquiry. Through a series of concor-

dances and juxtapositions, I try to create new, unresolved images that explore the fundamental nature of being and the world. Responding to a personal mythology, the collages contain re-curring motifs, such as the human figure, the stone, the triangle, the hand gesture, the vast-ness of space, among others. In this manner, I seek to challenge fixed meanings attached to

images, and establish a personal language in which to express a particular subjectivity.
