“As much as I like the perfection, I like the disorganization. Sometimes I start with a strict plan and specific location for each sticker and others are a collection of stickers placed without a plan. The shape is important and I precut them in various sizes. The circle references many different forms of light such as drones, orbs, stars and lite brite pegs.”

“I often make maquettes, which is one way of playing. Instead of “thinking” of the image I want to make, I can interact with the maquettes until I “find” the image. I just don’t see my conscious mind as being particularly good at determining the image from the start. The play allows for  other parts of me (the unconscious, the lower levels of the self, etc.) to influence the work. Meaning and content feel much richer to me that way.”

“I think almost everybody has a paper and a pencil at home so it's a very accessible thing to do. Which is also what I love about drawing. It is almost as writing. It's a really direct way of making an image and transferring your mind onto the paper. You only need like 3 euros to make it and also you don't need a studio or a lot of space. I can always draw whenever I want, may it be at a cafe or a day at the lake. It’s simple and easy and it’s one of the most joyful things I can think of.”

“When I draw characters in my own work, what comes out is usually whatever interests me and pleases me visually. They aren’t based on any existing narrative, although I think my drawings can sometimes suggest some kind of back story or universe.”
