After training as a primary school teacher and spending a few years in the classroom, the urge to create began to take hold.
It all began in late 2015, the year I created my first wall installation. It was a revelation for me. Little by little, paper (books, sheet music, road maps, magazines, and so on) became my medium of choice. I love working with this material more than any other because it offers endless possibilities.
I fold, cut, tear, dampen, assemble, combine and glue the paper to create. I like to think that through my work, I transform a past written work into a contemporary visual creation, thereby giving it a new meaning.
The central idea behind my work is to give books a second life, secretly hoping that the blending of literary works and the integration of different narratives might give rise to a new creation—this time, a sculptural one.
