Performance, Photography

I create images that relate to the uncanny and the surreal.
Sometimes I use images of animals as metaphor, a symbol for alienation and the idea of nature as Other. I draw inspiration from psychoanalysis, dreams, fairy tales and cosmology.
There is an element of performance in my images, an inquiring and questioning eye into the nature of Reality, I infuse these images with melancholy mixed with humour affecting the strange as familiar and the familiar as strange.
