나의 작품은 우리가 몸담고 있는 문화에 의하여 정의되고 조정된 개념으로서의 자연에 대한 명상이다. 대중의 상상 속에 깊이 뿌리 박혀 울려 퍼지는 세속적인 낙원에 대한 신화들과 자연 세계의 이상향적 환영이 <순회하는 낙원>과 현재 작업 중인 축축한 점토를 사용한 설치작품에 원천적인 영감을 주었다.

My work is a meditation on nature as a concept defined and mediated by the culture we inhabit. Mythologies of an earthly paradise and utopian visions of the natural world, deeply rooted and resonant in the popular imagination, are the original inspiration for <Itinerant Edens>, an ongoing series of installations in moist clay.
