The process of working on monotype collages starts with rapid monotype printing, enabling chance strokes, creating a large tonal and textural variety, keeping my printed material unexpected, rich and lively. Once all the papers are printed and dried they become raw material with a new creative potential. The process is slow, one of observation, placement, arranging and rearranging.
In my work I search for a distilled sense of space; creating compositions which exist on the border between order and disorder, between sense and a lack of sense. Movement and rhythm are main themes I am occupied with in my work: how can I render the simultaneity which is an essential quality of space and of life? How can an image be packed with energy similar to that existing in the observed world?
