In my objects, letters and body parts merge: the cast of a mouth, a hand, a foot, an ear becomes the first letter of the body part depicted (M for Mouth, L for Leg, E for Ear). Or a child’s fist grows out of the stem of a letter, clenched into the symbolic hand gesture of a fig hand.
In changing formats, I deal with the communication of language and the connection between language and body in an ironic and critical way.
