Modus operandi

 
 

 

I research out an idea and pick the best medium for 
the exploration and expression of that concept. I sculpt, 
assemble, use neon, wood, metal, glass,photography and 
digital technologies to create art; whatever suits the project.    
My current fascination is with site-specific public art. 
I like matching my creativity and skills to a design brief; 
there is creativity in compromise.
