Constructing psychological space is the driving force behind my work. I examine concepts that involve the human psyche: neuroses and compulsions that challenge us all, questioning the idea of normal. Illustrating our attempts to cope with and manage our issues ourselves, the work reveals the inevitable pitfalls these efforts create.
I am fascinated by the ways in which we arrange our living spaces through our neuroses. Does the space we have created assuage or exacerbate our inner conflicts? The tension between power and vulnerability in terms of what motivates us as well as what drives our behavior is an important theme in the work as well. There is a delicate balance between how we want to be perceived and how much we can really handle mentally.
