I don't think 'Dark Heart' has to be malevolent. It conveys a sense of depth. There is a sense of questioning turmoil.

How does contemporary technology and culture changes our understanding of what it means to be human. What is our relationship with - and responsibilities towards - that which we create.

Most of the work I make uses materials that are a bit outside of the traditional fine art world.

The illusion of life is crucial for the work, otherwise the ideas wouldn't be able to jump across, people wouldn't engage with it.

Every atom is working and resisting every thought in the mind. Everything we see and know is but the resultant of these two forces.

My affections were first for my own country, then, generally, for all mankind

At a certain depth of distress, the poor, in their stupor, groan no longer over evil, and are no longer thankful for good.
