    What interests me is the magic of change itself, the interrelation between things , ideas, and words. By a slight shift in context, in the use of light or color, we can conjure up the hidden poetry in the common . In a disjointed world , whose processes and events are often beyond my grasp, I have a need to believe in a common thread that interweaves all things, animate and inanimate and to give form to the idea of Pantha Rhei. Everything is part of a stream, everything changes. This holds true for our individual lives and for its larger framework: history. Hence my interest in mythology and literature.

    The camera can be a useful tool of observation, because it is more objective and equipped with a sharper lens than the human eye. It can assist our visual memory , but does not replace the drawing hand as a tactile extension of our eye. Working digitally with a camera or on the computer with photoshop allows for ultimate mobility. The possibilities for change are indefinite. That is for me their great attraction and their drawback. The printed surface of the inkjet print does not match the richnes of the hand - printed image. But the main danger of working digitally lies in a certain indifference, an uncommittedness . If any image is possible , are all equally worthwhile? I doubt it. My search has always been for the possibility of a poetic reference, for a metaphoric language. My world tends to be introspective. 'There is no movement without stillness,' says T.S.Eliot. He speaks of a stillpoint, and I want to add without that we are truely lost.
