“My work is about human beings and their historical place. This is a history of my making, in which I use creativity in the service of dreams, where linear deduction and informed intuition create an alternative scenario. Much of my work is a dialogue with the surface and what lies beneath, between a convincing facade and an internal searching for my place in the history of the world. It serves to probe a wound, as Brayten Breytenbach said: ‘You have to spike the self incessantly, you have to probe and to prod the numbness, you have to pickle the heart, you have to resist, you have to fight the leveling or the burying and the forgetting brought about by commonplaces.’”
