onion skin series,
shown for graduation @UdK_Berlin
During my fine art studies, I explored the possibilities of drawing. Here I work with abstract, implied elements and the depiction of figurations in order to create my own world of drawing. Within the abstraction, I constantly take a critical new approach, slipping off or creating reflected patterns. In this way, the lines are bundled into spaces or create landscape-like expanses. At the same time, figurations emerge that deal with these abstract spaces. The contexts and worlds of the figurations - partly to be found in the fashion of the 60/70s, but situated today - are implied and deliberately fragmentary. It is thus an interaction of elaboration and free space that enables her associative play with the viewer.
The resonance phenomena just described sometimes appear unstable, but they can also be seen as a sensitive opening in active and receptive processes of responsibility. The drawings are not a representation of an idea, but its development. They are exposed to life out of a sense of reciprocity. This presence and transparency is also reflected in the medium. The onion skin paper reinforces the resonance of the depicted scenes - like the layers of a sliced onion, where the lines in dynamic interactions bring to light a developing rhythm that brings the depicted scenes together. The drawings stage an exchange and transition of ideas, they create interactions.
