Profile

Ants in the bathroom, a new pen, mosquito bites, good days and bad, all compel me to react to them, to make a comment, a story, to connect it to something else. There is no pre-conceived deliberation, merely documenting this instantaneous response and a very private journey thru everyday that becomes the basis of my work. The reaction itself comes from amazement at discovering the curious object or behavior, or even the unexpected retort that the commonplace brings about, which in turn might have a direct association to adverts, literature, fables, films, music, proverbs, etc. (absolutely anything that I have heard or seen). The discovery, the amazement and the response have become a way of life, which in turn translates into more discovery, amazement and responses!
