Although you create fantasy beings and worlds, there exists a connection between the imaginary nature you’re working with and that in our real lives. Is this purposeful? What it is that you wish for people to understand through interacting with your work?

I think I was more abstract in some way before, but now they’re taking a different aspect. Nature is also taking different aspects. It’s taking on faces, eyes, mouths. It’s like reverse logic. Our connection with nature is deeper, and we as humans like to give life to nature, like a tree with eyes, to make our connections easier. The tree is alive anyway, and can see without eyes like ours, but in our minds. In this process, giving eyes and everything to nature, just deepens the connection that is already there.  In some way it’s a normal process, like ancient symbology. Apollo was the god of the Sun, but I mean, it’s the Sun—it’s a star, it doesn’t have a physical body. It’s just symbolic.

If people understand that, I think yes. They understand the monster [I Don’t Know Where to Go] through connecting to their fear, animals with animal nature. When they’re in front of sculpture, they have a better connection with unconscious, obvious concepts and symbols that we don’t know too well.
