„No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.“
Heraclitus of Ephesus
Site-specific free flow Ink PaintingsWaters are the focus of my work. I work directly on site at different boundary waters, rivers and streams. I deliberately refrain from using a brush and do not interfere with the work. Giving up control over the single line is a symbol of overcoming interpersonal and national boundaries, a symbol of renunciation of manipulation, power and control in dealing with nature.
I feel a strong connection with water. I have love, fear and respect for it. Water comes in all shapes and sizes. To me water is life. When I work with bodies of water I work with geography, geopolitics, with the element of life.
My work contains a short moment and at the same time eternity, it shows movement and stillness.
