"My work is influenced by dada, It’s the absurdity I enjoy. The collages explore a world of senselessness and contradiction, often with an underlying tale of morality. I try to take away the obvious connections that are too easy to explain, so there are always unanswered questions, the titles are always irrelevant, I spend a lot of time on these, they are an integral part of the artwork."
