Collector Profile
The Dirty Bon Voyage
I've collected things all my life. A pretty pod, that later cracked open, releasing fluffy, silky seedlings.
A soft piece of driftwood, that I had found on the beach, its edges smooth from the relentless beating of the waves.
As a kid, I always had a window sill in my room exclusively reserved for displaying my findings.
I liked to arrange them into little collections, give them names, attach stories to each.

My first gallery, if you will.
My early days...
I quickly found myself collecting art.
I started off with smaller pieces, usually modern, and went on to collecting bigger pieces, video art, light boxes, photography, sculptures.
​
Anything that plays on the concepts I love.
Creation, decay, destruction, renewal - the cycle of life.
Filling empty space
As an art collector, I want to own suggestive, evocative art and showcase pieces that allude to the concepts I love working with.
