His artistic research practice goes back to moments in time that influenced the aesthetics of the world as we perceive it today. By building a collection of facts, found objects, gifts and places he has traveled, the artist re-works these elements through drawing, painting, bronze casting, charcoal tracing, video editing and arranging/re-arranging them in space to bring these moments or situations into focus and shed new light on them.
