Artist statement

I’M INTERESTED IN THE HUMAN PSYCHE AND THE CONSEQUENTIAL REACTION TO GEOMETRY AND COLOR, ESPECIALLY IN SPATIAL INSTALLATIONS. THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN INSTALLATION AND EXPERIENCER HAPPENS ON A MORE SUBCONSCIOUS LEVEL AND IS HARD TO TRANSLATE INTO A DESCRIPTION. BY MAKING USE OF THE GOLDEN SECTION AND OTHER SPATIAL RULES, I’M CONVEYING A METAPHYSICAL MESSAGE TO MY AUDIENCE.
