I'm fascinated with the human form and it's potential to express inner states of being, or abstract ideas. Meta-figures, like ghosts or dolls or archetypes, are especially compelling and I find it impossible to identify and capture these forms in one image so they always end up as a series. Each series is an independent specimen, a set of examples of a particular type.
Presence, oddity, beauty and humour are important elements in all my work, as is colour and aesthetics. Weird things in jars, classification, crypts, fashion, horticulture and medieval European painting are just some of the things that inspire me.
