“In my current practice I’m mostly concentrated in making sculptural interventions both in interiors and outdoors. My work is grounded in observations of the daily environment, buildings, places and spaces, and how we live in them, relate to them, imagine them. My artistic gestures may often take a form of distortion of these daily observations. They come as fine operations, serene and delicate, with humor. As a visual language I use travesty or mimicry, whereby works disguise themselves as elements from a familiar environment; once inserted in a daily setting they literally multiply the view and the experience thereof. These elements seem to exceed or rupture the system of here and now, to exceed or rupture man’s organization of space and time. They are elements of disruption in an organized world – glimpses of disarray. ”
