I love Plexiglas, because it is transparent; such quality allows the interplay between seen and unseen, through light and background. It’s very difficult for an artist to do this because it’s like creating a world that wouldn’t otherwise exist. The forms change a lot depending on the way you look at them. The shapes and forms in my current work change with the shadows on the wall behind them also by using different lighting. The background becomes a part of the painting or sculpture, connecting it to its surroundings like the human body with its soul. Very often these emotions and thoughts are my own or others I have picked up on, which have been emphasized through different perspectives. Emotions are born from both good and bad experiences. They can give you different ideas which other people can also have. My work is a lot about connection – because I think all of us are connected energy-wise. Sometimes it’s just, you know, how you want to see it, the colors you see, the frequency you see; and the side you see, they’re all different.
