Movement is the central means of expression in my work. The changing structures that appear move in the transitional area between chaos and order, between variability and uniformity, between volatility and consistency. As a reconciliation of opposites.

My kinetic objects are characterised by a serial use of elements of which the form is generally of less importance than the movement that they make.
