"Verk mín eru oft þrívíðar innsetningar, smáar og stórar í sniðum. Í verkum mínum birti ég iðulega athuganir á afmörkuðum þáttum samfélagsins, og hafa þau oft dökkan undirtón. Efniviður þessara verka er mikið til fundnir eða tilbúnir hlutir en í blandi við eigin frummótun. Í verkum mínum gegna fundnir hlutir ákveðnu hlutverki sem tákngervingar minninga og reynslu einstaklinga eða hópa.
Í stórum dráttum má skipta verkum mínum í þrjá þætti: Mannréttindi og samfélag, Neysla og neyslusamfélag, og Náttúra og samspil manns og náttúru. En í sumum verka minna fléttast þessir þættir saman, einn eða fleiri."
