Catalogue Note
I believe that when I paint I become a conduit or medium for antipodal beings, between myself and the visions that exist inside of me. Beyond the conscious awareness of each of us there are thousands of these creatures who exist within the factory of our minds. That's why, when I paint, I never limit myself to a pre-conceived notion of the final picture. I let my paintings emerge natually and so keep myself open to anything that comes my way.
