About this artwork
In 2011 I visited Starwberry Fields in New York's Central Park for the first time. I was very impressed by the many people who visited this place to commemorate John Lennon and his vision of a peaceful world. Musicians were also there every day and played his songs. To immortalize JohnLennon and Strawberry Fields in my own way, I chose the ancient technique of drypoint. A friend who was enthusiastic about my idea gave me a Beatles record with the…
song "Strawberry Fields forever", which served as a printing plate for the work. That was important to me because, in my opinion, the spirit of the song was also incorporated. When the print was shown in an exhibition, an art friend told me that when he saw the etching, the music immediately came to mind and that it accompanied him the whole time on the way home. That was the best compliment for me.
