Atelier Works - Winter 2009

How can I escape from my immediate surrounding, my personal field, the shelter of my shadow...?

The action of setting myself in the middle of a long sheet of paper, tearing the paper with my fingers at a reachable distance from my body and finally taking away the cut out surface, produces as evidence a void on the paper.

This sheet of paper is a physical materiality of my personal area. 
Then through different media (stencil, painting, drawing) I do isolate it as an image. This image becomes enclosed again by the format of the canvas or detached from any previous reference when it is set up vertically on a white wall.

To me, the isolation of the paper when shifting it from horizontal ground to vertical wall, can bring about new images and places...
