“If you want to express something impossible, you must keep to certain rules. The element of mystery to which you want to draw attention should be surrounded and veiled by a quite obvious, readily recognizable commonness.” MC Escher. It also helps to have a sense of humor. Although my artistic work has been influenced by many creative visual artists, originality is also very important to me. I like to make thought-provoking images that use familiar and recognizable elements and then give them distinctly unusual points of view.
