The idea of the self interests me a great deal. What is the self? And finding yourself, and which self? In a way, we're more than one self, but you somehow try to get to a rock bottom self.

The paintings have a lot to do with the idea of seeing and doing, and the relationship between your hand and your eye, and the object.
