Artistic Position

“The great image has no form.”

My work begins with the observation that perception is never limited to what we see. Color, line, emptiness, material, light, space, and the viewer enter into relation. For me, the image is not an object but a place where these relationships become visible.

I work without a predetermined motif. In the morning, a white sheet hangs on the wall. By evening, it is finished. Or it is not. The works in the series Days and Signs emerge from this daily process of attention. Each sheet stands on its own while at the same time pointing toward something larger than itself.

I am less interested in the completed work than in the moment of its appearance. Folds, stains, tears, and traces of the working process remain visible. The material remains material. The painting remains material.

The great image does not appear as a finished form. It emerges in the space between work, surroundings, and viewer.

“I place something on the surface, and space begins to think me.”
