Forbiden Fruit Drawing

The crux of my practice is to visually investigate the human condition and its conundrums: sculpted body parts and internal organs function as powerful signifiers for different psychological, emotional, and physical afflictions. I explore the vastly complex notion of beauty – both aesthetically and conceptually – by combining a wealth of materials and techniques, most often body casting, glass, and drawing. A strong sense of the relationship between what can potentially be described as beautiful and the brutality of existence is thus deeply infused in my work. Cohesion between form and idea is consciously pursued or challenged and charges my work with affecting connotations: as multiple layers of meaning unfold, the contingency of visual dialogues between crafted matter, abstract concepts, and ontological preoccupations crystallise.
