I work with everyday changes that occur throughout my
surroundings. My process of image-making is mostly
connected through experience of changes within myself,
partially or impartially, inner or outer,the objects that are related to me, the landscape around me, social and political effects, and also my preoccupied memories. I believe the deeper the mind penetrates the deeper the thought grows. I like to find out the individual who yet is in the heart of universal. I am encouraged in my rhythmic futil- ity by being offered moral and material incentives for itscultivation.
I mostly work with printmaking techiques like etching,woodcut,drypoint. Through cutting out,scraching the sur-face the process helps me to make deeper conections to my surroundings. And the things I take with me from place to place become fixed points. They give me anchorage and belonging. The bodily relation to the objects became the starting point for the works. A personal experience and interpretation of certain things, not as they were, but more as a completely subjective tactile memory.
