Amorphous Writings
The endless beating soil of images. The easiness of signs, on the other hand their weight. Conflicts between order and formlessness. Amorphous flows and halting of signs. Signs flying around, hard and fragile paradoxes. Hybrids. Resisting abstract expression and giving in to it. Unfinished transformations, cross-exposures and the cycle of metaphors.
For me artistic work is about writing, finding my own language, producing signs, the primary meaning of something breaking and being rewritten. Writing is about surging towards unknown meanings, while images serve as a writing platform, as compact formations similar to words. In my works I pursue an unspoken area, the body’s own sign language, by mixing abstract with figurative, breaking the usual form of text and combining photographs with hybrid marks. Marks drawn on the surface of a photograph violate the integrity of the images, building a new layer for the eyes to see. Handwritten text loses its original purpose and shows, as a drawing, the visual nature of the writing without readable content, thus becoming asemic. A memory trace turns into a rebuilt image, a photograph develops further into a memory trace.
For me, different marks are writings, fragments that create metaphors. Making marks is expressive and associative, gestures of improvisation, aggression, chance and destruction. The subconscious tangles up, leaving its mark on images and words. My works features notes of incompleteness, a lack of outlines, pursuit and the boundaries of a photograph. The images, lines and words look for places in my works where they could escape a strict structure. On the other hand, they seek a space where meaning and form can become compact and find their weight.
