"Drawing is, perhaps, the most accessible artistic medium – what you need is a material that produces colour and another material to imprint the first material onto. For me, this also means that drawing is one of the most natural mediums, and that it may therefore be able to bridge the divide between us and the world. As a result, the divide often appears in my drawings. For example, it may consist of a grading of the paper, or the space that appears when two surfaces are placed next to each other.
In my drawings, I attempt to describe what is essentially human; what we are before we enter a context. The accessibility of drawing is suitable for a performative approach – you don't need to arrange much in advance, and you can get started right away. I therefore often don't have a plan for what I'm going to draw, frequently resulting in an image where paper is added when the drawing wants to continue in a certain direction."
