About this artwork
It is not clear to the observer in which context the stone, which is literally as old as stone, bent nails, and weather-beaten wooden beams come together in the work Am Wegsrand and seem to force their way into the picture
Questions about why and how and since when arise and the eyes go in search of clues. The tactile surface reflects the weathering and wear of the material over time. It literally invites you to feel and touch, to "understand" the… story.
Petra Knauer does not answer the questions. She only lets the color and the material do the talking. The viewer encounters a timeless scene with an evidently long history that takes him back in time and into the present.
