"ich male, streiche, sprühe und zeichne spontan oder geplant ideen auf papier, um diese dann zu zerschneiden, auf bildträgern zu collagieren, wieder abzureißen, neu zu verkleben, zu zerschneiden und anzuordnen. danach bearbeite ich die aufgebrachten materialschichten mit flex- und schleifgeräten, hochdruckreiniger und messern, bis der prozess der konstruktion/dekonstruktion in einem organischen sinne eine eigendynamik entwickelt und radikal ergebnisoffen ein bild entsteht."
