"I make pictures; they drive themselves, inspired from the everyday, flashing imagery before my eyes. The books I read, biographies, which inspire music that takes me away into a realm beyond this one. All of these things coexisting together, forging links that perhaps are at first not seen. I believe it is possible to link everything".
