"As a research professor teaching students is of paramount importance to me. The passing on of contemporary knowledge, gained through research underscored by my own ongoing creative encounters is a professorial duty. Engagement with students is a two way exchange being both interactive  and experimental with the intention of helping students towards their 'integration', 'maturation' and their own uniquely individual approaches to creative work".
