Perception is what fascinated the artist. How one thing can be perceived differently when one is led into a different mode or expectation. We can only process a fraction of the stimuli that come to us through all our senses. In order to cope, we select what to ignore and what is important. This selection is largely automatic, unconsciously done by patterns in our brains. The artist researches how to manipulate the focus of the visitor to their body, a specific batch of thoughts and connotations or a different brain state, in order to give them a different experience. Among his influences are artists Tim Prentice, Lawrence Malstaf and Alexander Calder.

Wire Series
The artist creates images with minimal use of line, usually just one piece of bend wire. In his line usage he is inspired by drawings of Egon Schiele. The one line captures the space within, as our minds instantly use the line to divide the space and fill in the image where needed. This gives the spacial drawing sculptures a strong feel of plasticity and mass. In order to see the image the viewer needs to make a switch in brain states, from his dominant analytic, logical and linear brain state to the one in which the sculpture is created, the holistic, special brain state in which time plays no role. When the physical relation to the sculpture, the perspective, changes the line needs to be reinterpreted to see the image, keeping the brain in the state in which we perceive the world as a whole, without time, until we start to think about it..

Duets
For a series of moving works the artist works with contemporary dancers in order to create movement that he translates to sculptures. This intuitive process leads to figurative works of human bodies through which abstract qualities are communicated. These slowly turning sculptures address balance or the lack thereof, physically the whole sculpture is delicately balanced while the figures and perhaps even the whole image is struggling with it. As they move, the sculptures seem to be ever changing and constant at the same time, a quality that is found in nature in breaking waves or dancing flames.
