How blue can the ocean be? (ongoing work)

Careful examination of deposition can create a beautiful drift line.

The origin of this image comes from a beach walk. I followed the flood line that consisted of tiny pieces of peat remnants. There were beautiful geometric shapes between them, formed by the sea. Through a detailed selection of the pieces of peat I have formed my own artificial flood line.

Pre-studie for a new work.

Tonight i'll drive until i run out of gas chasing the sun.

Norfolk Island pine

 

 The Norfolk Island pine is a tree that I do not understand. The symmetry is so unreal and in my eyes the tree grows upside down. When I look at it, I think of the artist Rodney Graham. This work was made for him based on his serie of monotypes of upside down trees. By inverting the tree, Graham recalls the origins of photography, his ongoing facinating with the camera obscura and to show that the world is really not as it appears.

making a mobile is like a dance with branches

Photogram

 

Photogram in the making as a limited edition for the expo at Tique Art Space, 4 October.
The image comes from a serie based on the imaginary mobile by using my archive.
I started to make the imaginary mobile out of necessity because I can undo the limitations of gravity. by working on photographic paper and focusing on the shapes of objects I reach things that are impossible to carry out. The results are graphic registrations of a (in my mind) very logical structure of forms.

The exact rock is a moving target.

There’s no way you can create a chemistry where none exists.

Nothing moved but time moves and comes back and doesn't move.

This is a landscape constantly changing....

Would I be able to breathe without you?

How many lines can one stone handle before losing the idea that this is a stone?

A study in how I can create an image of a stone based on the existing lines by creating new lines. How far can l go? Are there conventions that control how lines arise and that determine what a real stone is?

Because i have faith in you

I‘m investigating this beautiful stone. Try to get a handle on the form and be confident. Only then I can make the right interventions.

Everything is sculpture. Any material, any idea without hindrance born into space, I consider sculpture. (Isamu Noguchi)

A very small piece of a flower creates a whole univers.

 

This little piece of the Hoya Linearis is the heart of the flower and reminds me of how I drew as a child a shooting star. 

 I’d like to dedicate this work to my grandfather.

I was the line between you and them

somehow... it all finally seems to make sense
