The sculptures originate from drawings, typically rendered in charcoal, gouache or graphite, and then sculpted into three-dimensional form.

His references are broad, adopting methods of conceptualism and minimalism along with interests in folk tradition, psychedelia, mythology and non-Western techniques.
