Group of works
New Love
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 New Love of the work group 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.
This work also gave its name to the “Neue Liebe” series
The title of the picture is inspired by a Romantic poem: “Heart, my heart, why so cheerful, So full of restlessness and scattered, As if over mountains blissfully came Already the beautiful springtime?”
Joseph von Eichendorff – “New Love” (1837)
Plant remnants on watercolor – and that’s it?
As always, we could end this reflection right here. On the other hand, it is precisely beyond the big stage of everyday drama that the finest and most inspiring stories begin.
These figures made of dried flowers made me think of great egrets: with their elegant plumage, they stand out from the dreary landscape and wade through the reeds with a measured step. Or are they perhaps dancing the tango? Perhaps the little moorhens that are frolicking in the gnarled bank shrubs at the bottom of the scene know.
One thing is certain: this luminous scene shines in all its glory as soon as it is allowed to take pride of place on the wall, on a shelf, windowsill or next to your favorite armchair.
