In my photographic work, I create a world just next to our daily reality. Although I would not call my images ‘dream-like’, there is an intangible quality about them, which is similar to the difficulty of describing our waking dreams. There is no story contained within my photographs that has any kind of logical flow.
Throughout my career to date, I have consistently photographed female models in staged settings. Over the years, the ways that I have depicted women has gradually changed. From the child-like women of my early work, who were presented as both sensual and at the same time innocent beings, to my current subjects, which have evolved into something closer to what I would describe as ‘creatures’. Often only fragments of body are seen: arms, legs, shoulders, hair… A beautiful tuft of soft hair might look as if it has a will of its own. To me, it is only women who have this extreme duality: they are balancing on a thin line between the alluring and the eerie, the fragile and the destructive, the playful and the tragic.
