In creating my sculptural pieces, I seek to extract fragments of long forgotten organic forms from the realms of both personal and collective subconscious. In this way I hope to express the timeless connection and friction between man and nature. It is a consequence of this approach that the images I perceive and interpret in my art are often of the monsters that inevitably feed on this conflict..
