Your
online journal captures dreams, sensations, and fragmented thoughts. How does
writing feed into your visual work?
Writing
is a central part of my practice, both personally and professionally. I
don’t write to accompany images or to explain what I do, but it
often appears as part of the same process. Sometimes a phrase or note comes
first and later becomes a visual piece. Other times it’s the other way around. Writing helps me organize what I’m thinking or feeling, especially when it hasn’t yet taken visual form. It allows me to observe, to focus, to
isolate something. It also plays a structural role. When I write, I build
rhythm, I sort through ideas, I clear mental space. It’s
very similar to designing, and with that comes something particular:
sometimes I look at a word and it stops meaning what it means. It becomes a
shape, a symbol, an object.
