Statement
My work investigates functions within nature through the practice and engagement with mathematical concepts. It is concerned with the logical measures between the parts and, with forms that reflect progressive, expansive or revolutionary movements. I have a drawing practice in which I follow geometric instructions. This practice allows me to adopt logical methods of thinking and creating, and provides me ways to explore the self and ways to develop it. From time to time I practice performance drawing which allowes me to experiment with the opposite, the "free will" of the senses. In this way, comparing and relating both processes, I investigate and observe how directed training influences the way we explore freedom.
