I bring things that are far away in closer to my body.

Drawing over things is a way to get inside them.

I like secrets, not in their exposure but in their very existence.

To enter a system I locate the loophole.

If my subject is made in clay I will work in clay.
If it is text I may write.
If it is too big I will grow.
If it is out of reach I’ll steal it in a mirror.

Repeating something helps me to perceive it. So does cutting it out.

When in love I separate a someone out from the everyone.

Isolating details is like making bubbles.

An extra becomes the protagonist, after the film is made.
The protagonist disappears; this fact creates a void to be filled by other facts.

Without gravity we end up hovering.

What is considered banal or cliché is often hiding something.

Permission is a material and changes the work’s consistency.
