“I make works that are both autographic and that are somewhat appropriated.  I believe that once I take a visual form, from its original context, and go on to edit it – it becomes my own. The Internet has opened up the world to me like a huge book and I love it.
Through my intentions and inventions I transform it,  to communicate another meaning.  It is like a language, which holds a message.  Through the printmaking matrix (whatever it’s material constitution) I produce a form that has my own autographic connotation or signature.

Often I will   combine images (or parts thereof) together, like a kind of visual geneticist, breeding new forms. I like to reference anatomical visuals as well as animal forms.  Through the process of printmaking/ interaction with a matrix   e.g., inscribing, chemical reactions, or digital manipulation all kinds of interesting things happen and are possible, which is why I like to explore the possibilities with surfaces/materials, both old and new.

Art as far as I am concerned has to connect to the personal; to  our experience of being alive in this world. This is evidenced by a continuous evolution of hybrid autographic forms that represent different aspects of the undisclosed ‘self’.”
