Artist Statement

Through the multifaceted study of narratives, myths and philosophy, my practice focuses on the human attempts to explain the mysterious or unintelligible in the world. I see the narrative form as intrinsic to this process and as embedded in the very advent of language. Thus, my research centres on the relationships humans establish with internal, mythical, religious or political narratives.

I create spaces for narratives to be inhabited and experienced. Through a long research process of collecting, analysing and connecting diverse texts and materials, specific visual frameworks are formed and materialised as installations, combining media such as drawing, sculpture, video or sound. I view these elements as gateways for something created between them, the space and the viewers.
