Group of works
New Love
Between rain, grey days, and the occasional cloudless moment, creativity has relentlessly carved its path. The essence of this series lies in new beginnings and in the radiance of the very smallest things.
Like a first sunbeam that awakens hope for a warm summer day, tiny found objects appear here as agile bird-like figures crossing the stage. The bird species I discovered refuse to be defeated; they do their best to wrest a small glow from everyday life—each in its own way.
Each work in this group carries its own facets and tells its own story around this theme.
You, the star of my eyes
Unique – including certificate of authenticity
Framed with anti-reflective museum glass
Space and effect
The work can often manifest itself in different ways in the room.
Size, distance and light determine how the collages are perceived – not just as isolated objects, but as part of a situation. Each work in this group unfolds its effect on its own or can form its own small order as an ensemble on the wall.
The photograph shown conveys this relationship and perhaps gives an impression of how the work is in dialog with its surroundings – placed on the wall or closer to the viewer. Further views allow the structure, details and composition to be discovered more precisely.
Change of perspective
Sometimes I step outside the door and let the world affect me in a way that goes beyond the everyday. Perhaps I manage to see past the obvious…
Inconspicuous fragments can suddenly reveal themselves as small treasures. For the smallest finds, there is then a space in which they can be something else. This shift can sometimes reveal something new. The inconspicuous appears mysterious, the discarded seems to tell new stories.
This often opens up a space in which I can discover new perspectives – on the material, on the world and on myself.
This view gives rise to works such as this series: small settings that perhaps slow down the gaze and allow it to perceive things anew. This is particularly evident in the juxtaposition of the collages in this group of works – similarities seem to emerge, differences become perceptible and the gaze can begin to wander freely
Effect and scale
The collage You, the star of my eyes of the work group New Love often only reveals its presence on closer inspection. The works are small-format, deliberately restrained and invite you to get closer. Structure, material and subtle nuances only reveal themselves on closer inspection.
The framing creates a self-contained pictorial space that looks like its own habitat. Organic found objects and everyday fragments meet as equal elements. The surprising combinations create a field of tension in which nature, everyday fragments and art can coexist.
This impression is often reinforced in the series: return and deviation stand side by side without explaining each other. The change of distance – stepping back, coming closer, comparing – can become part of the observation.
Each work is framed dust-tight (anti-reflective museum glass) and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
A work from the “New Love” series
Even eye stars sometimes get lost from view.
In any case, the little metal star at the bottom of the picture was lost to someone – unnoticed, just left lying around. Until I picked it up from the sidewalk.
Now it has found a new sphere of activity here, in the refuge of the smallest species. And let’s be honest: what would lime seed finches, barberry siskins, leafhoppers and rosebud stilts be without this special little star?
A twig of dogwood wraps itself around it in a gentle curve, as if it wants to make sure that it never gets lost again. A tiny lime seed finch marvels at the find. The others take it surprisingly calmly – apparently no one here is surprised by anything.
Even the yellow paper flag, once packaging material, remains in place as if it had grown on.
Have I rambled on too much? Perhaps. But the whole scene is teeming with eye stars. You can’t look closely enough.
