Quote from Parkett
“The artist’s absurd, dreamy images stir deeply hidden anxieties: dogs lose their heads, teeth mutate into wooden stakes, gravity becomes an obsession. Everything is in the grips of being transformed or dissolved; things emerge only to fall apart again. The world is out of joint. The bizarre figures all seem somehow related; they are disturbing and of a grotesque exaggeration and ironic twist that radiates an unfathomable lightness.”
Katrin Wittneven, Parkett No. 75, 2005
