“The philosophy embedded in my work is based on the Ptolemaic concept in which man is the center of the universe, and everything is judged according to that view. Man creates line to center-focus his existential drama of life, giving a focal point to everything that is important to him; the way he is born, the way he dies, and the way he dresses, and the way he shows love, morals, pride, etc. This is all indirectly related to a more modern concept of the universe in which positive and negative charges act through each other, which creates results of “ins” and “outs,” lights and darks, good and bad, fronts and backs. We reveal those things that are important to us, and hide those things that are not. This is the threshold of the human mind.”
