Time and space, and conditions, interest me. Different materials are used to optimize ideas, sometimes pencil drawing is good, sometimes cast iron is needed.
Casting particularly interests me, where the method itself represents form, absence of potential form, as imaginary volume.
Currently I work with positive and negative form, flow and changing form. Thin casts of random forms of snow, transformed to empty positives in bronze.
Huge and tiny sizes interest me equally and at the same time.
In art commissions in public spaces, the situation and function generate ideas and form
