Public viewing: Thursday 1st June 7-9.30pm
Show Dates: 01.06.2017 – 06.06.2017
”For 30 years I have worked with a combination of collage and painting and I'm still as fascinated by the surprising possibilities of combination that can arise in this method of creating.
I always start the work with preparing a workspace by scraping out paint in several layers until I feel unrestricting possibilities have arisen. After this the artistic process can start in an interacting combination of painting and collage which most often takes place at the floor of the studio where I have easy access to collage materials spread out over the floor wherein I use trial and error by adding and removing chosen material.
By doing the work on the floor I also have a good overview and can let the process take its time. I also have to say that I am enormously interested in the very process, as a sort of end in itself where the result often comes as a total surprise. Normally I work on several projects at the same time which enables me to complete several works in a serial process where some sort of coherent narrative can arise.”
