" My work is influenced by a childhood lived in Scandinavia, where I found myself fascinated and mystified gazing at suspensions of rock, branches and detritus trapped underneath ice. These small universes were alive to me yet totally inaccessible: cold, still, contained.

These remembered worlds have a symbolic and psychological charge. Derivative sensations and intuitions continue to insinuate themselves into my everyday experience. An introspective exploration of these ambiguous images and an attempt to create similar emotional triggers form the basis of my work. "
