“Presence of absence. Mystery. Silence. In both art and in life, I find what is hidden or
obscured more compelling than the overt. I prefer to leave ambiguity in my work, regardless the me- dium—similar to the poet’s sense of reduced lan- guage to communicate, creating mood and mean- ing where there may be no obvious story. Posing a question minus the answer, I offer the viewer
to become an important determiner of meaning; allowing space to experience his own feeling, to arrive at his own conclusion. In the end, ambiguity is always the theme I seem to return to. Search- ing for something imperceptible. For something haunting in the work, perhaps in a place, maybe in the other, but mostly, I imagine, in myself.”
