FACADES
It began with my longing for the layers of urban dust, for stone shadows, cracked façades, and fresco plaster plants, the longing for the washed-out tones of the tenement buildings, the manifold overpainted life.
PLANETS
A visit to Argentina’s Cordillera brought phthalocyanine green into my daily life.
The phthalocyanine green planet paintings are produced by applying countless thin
layers of acrylic and oil paint on canvas. Needles, wood and rags are used to reveal once again what had been covered over.
Planets trace orbits, circles, ellipses. They are unstable, and unique in terms
of their substance, eccentricity and age. They have no limits; they attract one
another.
Moving in their orbits, the planets seem to cross each other although
they never really meet.
