New Series

Artist Statement

It’s not seldom I wander the shore of the Baltic Sea, paths only feet, paws and hooves have touched, accompanied by wind fleeing trees or crows and butterflies in the heathlands of the tiny german island Hiddensee, where I live. Enchanted by the hereby nordic myths and folklore, the portion of my hesitations, ponderings and things alluring to me conjure up the drawings I share.

In this series of work my figures seem not as lost in the transcendental realm, as they have been. They carefully touch local landscapes and sceneries, as if they slightly get an idea where to belong.

I’d like the viewer to follow the inked paths to glimpses, flashlight captures of things found in the dark. Maybe invite to adjust the eyes and read between the lines. Especially where transparency and overlays might lead to scratched woods and the savage sea full of contrast, I always tried to highlight resilience.

Of course I stayed true to black and white aesthetics. Silence all around, but where mistakes happened, there is movement, because ink can’t be erased.
