Statement
A state of void space where there is no compliance. That is the realm in which I can immerse and experience unconditional freedom. It encourages me to explore my inner visions. The process and the act of creation is what inspires me. Because of its structural nature, weaving is an important tool of expression in my practice. I create objects and installations which I can approach in this empty space.
