08-Feb-2010 No subject. Free thought.
Illustration work is the basis for my designs. Attached you see how the illustrations look. They come freely. They spring to my mind directly from somewhere. Nowhere.
I just read a book by a 17 year old German author: Helene Hegemann. It's genial. I love the freedom in it. The way the sentences line up in a devastating way. There is nothing logic about it and yet so much more truth in it.
This is the way I want my work to be: free and touching. Spontaneous. Real. -

06-Jun-2009 Portrait of the object woman

I want to portray a type of housewife that has gone astray into a marriage which has locked her in - like a predator in a small cage in the zoo, not adapt to the needs of a very young woman - and now has the role of a whore and unpaid cleaning lady. She covers this role with more or less boredom. The objects and furniture in the house become a replacement for the outside world. The variations of her life consist in small changes: fridge open/closed, dishwasher open/closed, plates on the ground/on the shelf,... The tension in this situation is represented by the woman lying on the floor. The kitchen knife is the cousin of the plate, it usually lies in a drawer in the same room. Now it is lying on the floor like the woman. In a threatening way. I don't know: is the woman dead, did she revenge, or are all these objects equivalent: plate, knife and woman, are all these simply useful objects?
