11 Oil paintings, 2003 - 2006

The series is inspired by a text by Ingeborg Bachmann: “It caught my eye. We say this not because we have perceived an external object or event, but because we apprehend that which we cannot yet see. And that is what art should achieve: that our eyes are caught in this way…” (Ingeborg Bachmann, Die Wahrheit ist dem Menschen zumutbar [The Truth is Appropriate for People])

Micro Cuts

3 Oil paintings, 2008-2010

Canvases responding to being harmed; painting as an “imposition” (hands are red with your blame / a blade cuts in your brain… ). The title is from a song by the band Muse, with images like “sounds like forks on a plate” and “blackboard scratched with hate” reminiscent of the sound made by a spatula scraping the canvas. The first series of these large-format works was produced between 2008 and 2010.

Where It Begins to End

8 Oil paintings, 2002 - 2005

Words are left between the layers of colour, do not need to be read, speak for themselves: “…where I begin to end, where I cease to belong.” (Ingeborg Bachmann). Fragments of speech, buried between the thick layers of red, often cannot be deciphered and so can be understood rather as hidden messages.

Hearts Remaining in Dust

“In the contradiction of the impossible and the possible, we expand our possibilities… so that we move towards a goal which, of course, as we approach it, becomes yet more distant” (Ingeborg Bachmann, The Truth is Appropriate for People). A picture to be experienced as a multidimensional moment: background and foreground weave together into two levels that cover and reveal each other.
