ARTIST'S STATEMENT

My work is an abstraction of urbanity that combines distinct architectural elements into geometrical forms--manipulating real space into objects: the contours of elements create a false volume like the isometric projection of a cube. The individuality of structure become background to the structural tensions of city, played out in textured relationships and contrasting forms. They are landscapes without reference:no horizon; no sky; only layers of buildings and time.
