:: about ::

The work explores nostalgia, dreamscape, perception and memory, and plays within the boundaries of things both charming and grotesque — especially when the difference is indiscernible.  Of greatest importance, the impulse to make.  To put into existence, to compose of separate parts, to wish, scheme and dream up something from nothing.  Often story making, Language both linguistic and visual.  Characters and Oh! sweet metaphor.  On the maker, myself, I cannot seem to choose a medium.  For instance I am very happy making a cake.
