There is a ‘stream of images’ flowing through my mind, consisting of memories, comic books, movies, paintings and other art forms. Using an automatic drawing process, I try to organise and make sense of that stream of images. Sketches form the basis of my paintings and murals. During a drawing session, I find fragments of my memories appearing on the paper somewhat unintentionally. The communal factor between these memories and subjects is a sense of awkwardness or discomfort. I am drawn to imagery that doesn’t make sense or seems like it shouldn’t even exist. This results in imagery that’s often humorous, absurd and maybe a bit grotesque.
