When I was young, I was interested in Renaissance art.

I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.

What interests me is the unforeseeable.

It's the procedures in and for themselves that interest me. The picture isn't really necessary.

Mostly, drawings are things I make for myself - I do them in sketchbooks. They are mental experiments - private inner thoughts when I'm not sure what will come out.

There has to be an element of risk-taking for me in my work.

As a child, I copied Duerer drawings and Bruegel.
