KNITTED SKETCHES

Colors are terrible. They drive me crazy. They intrude and have to be sorted out constantly. That is a constant irritation and driving force in my work.

My work is consistently about time, texture, contrasts, color combinations and feelings of the unfinished. I am interested in the traces of the hand in the materials of the work.

My pictures are a kind of tactile sketches. Sketches are drafts, they are the outline of something not yet fully formed. I remain in the sketching stage. It is a space, an in-between between the real now and the idea of ​​what could happen. Sketches spur something that is on its way. I try to maintain this space. Between the tangible reality and the idea of ​​what could take shape. That point is drawn out with the slowness that lies in the creation of the pictures.

My objects - baskets, vases, containers - are driven by frustration and interest in color and texture combinations. The logic from the sketch work also plays a role here. Why a knitted vase? That's not possible, it needs to be treated before it can hold water and be used. But no, it stops before that and makes the idea of ​​the vase a sensory reference point.
