Artist Statement
Early mornings and evening twilight intrigue me. Colors start to bloom or fade. Time does not matter.
Motives are finding me. I do not search. I choose the familiar but unexpected: A table tennis covered with snow, a collapsed tennis net, empty seats in front of a closed movie curtain.
A floating tent in a park. A brise. I stop. The photos on my mobile phone mark each aspect of change in its moving shape. Some of them are marginal. A dance. Strings attach the tent to the ground. I feel the tension with each wind stroke. In my studio I transform my interpretation with oil stick on paper – leaving out the strings.
My art mirrors my personal transformation and how we change aspects of who we are, what we do and the life we lead. It is a journey – ‚I am transforming‘ – and a destination – ‚I am transformed‘.
It is my intention to make the viewer engage in his/her personal transformation as a statement of positive intent.
This series focusses on one motive with a total of 16 works.
The motive is inspired by an installation from artist Jan Glisman "Sind wir gleich da?", 2017
