I describe my work as surrealism : "...to combine inside the same frame, elements not normally found together to produce
illogical and startling effects" , or, to quote Andre Breton ( who stole the quote from somebody else for his 1924 manifesto ),
"The more the relationship between the two juxtaposed realities is distant and true, the stronger the image will be, the greater
it's power and poetic reality..!"
In my work the juxtaposition can be of different materials ( steel and bone ), often of different realities ( the object's purpose
is clearly to be able to fly , yet it is obviously physically absurdly impossible for it to be able to do so ) , or the juxtaposition of the object
trying to look alive with its expressions that we associate with human emotions, and the materials used that are ,by definition, lifeless
( skulls, bones, steel..)
Ultimately I try to carry this concept a step further by creating new beings and therefore a reality entirely its own.
