Who I am
Interpretation of the outside world is my field. The photography is often used in conjunction with/as opposed to direct observation. People’s need to create coherence in perceptions is challenged through a collage-like form of work in which humour and irony are bound together with a deliberate mystery. Do reality, communication, and reading agree?
