Inspirations for this project?
My love in traveling, in building connections and in getting in touch with things i’m not familiar with.
How does passion play a part in your work?
When i am doing something i love i am totally on it. In most projects i jump into i’m driven by challenge, curiosity, fantasy, seduction and an intense exchange.3.
Do you love what you do?
I love what i do and wish i would only do what i love
Are you a dreamer?
Without dreams it would be a nightmare!
How big a role do found objects play in you work/inspiration?
When i do a collage they what i found is physically essential in all levels. FOR All sorts of projects and in a more abstract way all gathered fragments of my personal experience and repertoire, what i catch from everyday life and from peoples attitudes are among my most powerful creative sources.
