You know the feeling of being alone, lost in thought. Suddenly, strange creatures seem to be following you, mythical beings watching you. But when you turn around, they are only withered leaves on gnarled branches. Rain exposes the delicate limbs of a hand in the fallen leaves; intertwined bodies seem to lie in the grass, arms and legs knotted together.
Raindrops fill a rusty vessel. A bird drinks from it, a beetle basks in the sun on an overturned coffee maker. An abandoned shed creaks in the wind, an animal peers out from a tree fork. Then two female figures appear in the light, glistening from the rain. Laughter echoes through the treetops, plants unfurl – everything is in motion.
This is where my work begins: perceptions condense into a formal language situated between figuration and abstraction. Forms emerge and dissolve again, the familiar becomes strange. My hope is that this will sharpen our perception of what is immediately present.
