I’d like to think of my work as sensitive, cerebral and particular. It's taken me years to be comfortable with creating work just for me, it's liberating to live in that mental space. If others find what I'm doing interesting, that's a plus, but it's not the drive behind the work. The body is probably the most fascinating subject for me. Not only its physicality, but being open to finding that right person whom you can express the idea through. I like the concept of knowing that there's a special person out there trying to find me, just as much as I'm trying to find her. Other than the model herself, I love Maillol sculpture, Art Deco, Gustavian furniture and Alma-Tadema paintings. I think there's something very special about Odd Nerdrum's work. Jane Champion's early films. There's such poetry in it all. Photography is probably the last place that I look at for inspiration. Through the Eye of an Archer
