What is your process to create your work?

I make a lot of excuses until I run out of excuses and then I start working.

Is there something you can’t live without in your studio?

Russian tea. Not that it’s better than other teas. I just like the taste. Music is important. Berlin deep house.

What is the meaning behind your artwork?

I use earth’s energy to help me understand. What she wants me to say.
