Summary
My work is made of recycled tin collected from shops, restaurants and factories. I was inspired by observations of people and animals, memories mixed with stories and imagings. Animals and people are merged and everyday scenes and situations populated with creatures. I like the colour and pattern of the tin and the volume of beaten hollow figures.
