Artist's Statement
The claustrophobic isolation within the body is something
that I am very interested in and also try to visualise though performance.
I am also investigating the universe of the inner state and how the psyche
is built up layer-by-layer of different identities. These layers are what constitute
the self. I explore the world of multiple personalities, not as a disorder
but as a reality that lays within us all.
I am interested in what constitutes me/ the self by exploring the battle between
the conscious and the unconscious, but also the state where there is a loss
of self, when the control is lost and I loose myself in front of the other
which then erupts the notion I have of me as well as the understanding the
other have of me.
