I am fascinated by the unique way we consciously or subconsciously filter and gather visual material on a daily basis.

My drawings and paintings serve as meticulous documentation of  this intuitive filtering on a personal level.  At the moment I am researching the emotional space between the subjects in my compositions by combining research and source material almost by free association - everything goes.

I want my work to reflect certain qualities from the photographic source-material, but at the same time I  strive to protect the qualities of  the materials I work with - graphite and paint.

I find the juxtaposition between the immediate, quite random source-material and the meticulous, technically challenging process leading up to the final work both interesting and important.

I leave unmistakably unique and individual marks in the reconstruction or recycling of the source material, but my labour is  sometimes without significance to the immediate interpretation.
