Catalogue Note
“I hope if you look at my sculptures – if you really sit with them – you can see that I am a kid raised on cartoons and comics but that I am also fascinated by the history of sculpture, by modernism but also by Romanesque sculpture, and that I am trying to bring together a visual language and trying to do it in sculpture…”
