Artist Statement
In the studio, time passes in a manner different to the outside world. Many hours are spent on the sofa examining incomplete art works, taking a break from painting, or simply reading. The studio is an oasis—a contemplative place—where the hours always swiftly float by, and where I could never spend enough time.
