STATEMENT

While working there are many thrilling moments: a motif half erased or a stain produces an unexpected effect, or a phrase that has come to my eyes or ears leads the work to completion. I want to value this waste and this noise. The countless cracks and scratches I put in deliberately are part of it, and lately I often paste on foreign objects and ready-made things as well. My theme from here on is to spin out small myths through the works and the space of an exhibition.
