"The contradictions and polarities I experience both in the day to day and in the painting process help in generating ideas. As an abstract painter I try to maintain a dialogue with the surface of the picture. My work is related to landscape over time. Information is located and layered, represented, hidden, complicated, hinting at a three-dimensional reference. My work is about the organic, the geologic, the construction of history."
