In my paintings and sculptures, I engage in a process of creation, combination, and elimination. I establish my own unique set of rules, only to ultimately break them. This approach allows me to explore and challenge my artistic boundaries. Memory plays a crucial role in this process, as it informs my decisions and inspires new directions in my work.

I live in London.
