I always thought it was a trap to fit into ideologies, and maybe that's a luxury position, but my work is a reflection of my being here. My being here is not a reflection of an idea.

One hopes that each piece contains enough space for several narratives.

I'm in general a nostalgic person, but I don't know if I'm nostalgic for the 80s!

I got into animals by drawing hair follicles. I liked drawing hair, and from that I got into feathers and fur, then into images of animals. The patterning is the same, but the proportions of the body change from one animal to the next. A lot of it is just geometry and consciousness.

I really love printmaking. It’s like a mystery and you’re trying to figure out how to rein it in.

In drawing, I often think of things as flying buttresses.
