"Art as amusement

In my work I am focusing on the monotonies of daily life and the transformation of the banal into the imaginative. Taken out of context, situations and words can be rearranged to create new scenarios that will then have a more entertaining value. While the situations were once a real moment in time, and the words once spoken by someone, they are now combined to become something new and surreal; a daydream.

An important part of my work is what happens psychologically between the audience and each piece. Most of the narrative forms in the mind of the viewer, with minimal text as a guide. "
