STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyday objects are at the centre of my projects. I enjoy taking them out of their normal environments and incorporating them within other contexts and introducing them into unpredictable places.<\/p>\n

Through this exploration of matter, images and transformable objects, I weave links and accumulate encounters in order to recount, via collages and\/or sensitive and teeming installations, a vision of the world; a world, whether it be a microcosm or of global dimensions, that is at once political, chaotic and full of movement and conflict.<\/p>\n

Finally, the playful interpretation of this pictorial or sculptural agitation encourages reflection about certain perceptions that influence the way we act and see, and how we apprehend images, objects, space and our habitat.<\/p>\n
