My sculptures are made by lots of paper: old and new, used, simple, strange, ordinary. They grow upon a construction of wire where several layers of paper are put on - paper-caché. The surface is always a collage-skin of all these papers. This skin dresses the sculptures and makes them alive. So they are standing around, or they dance, or they seem to wait for something - in a certain way you never know what they are going to do next.
