Early 2020 I was affected by a cerebral infarction.
Since nothing is what it used to be, I had my focus at first mainly on Reshuffling (for example in my last series ‘Aphasia’ ).
My new series ‘Meander’ I will start with this poem:
Meander
Have I changed
in essence
because I meander
through frayed frames
in stead of directly
following my thoughts?
Because what I see
like in a mirror
Seems sometimes alienating
and a little bit different?
perhaps placing landmarks
of work
like cairn stones along the twisting road
and thus calibrating my path
Will bring me in any case
further
info about this work:
I used the stones of my series ‘Future Fossiles’ (2017). I merged the pairs fitting together with clay into one stone, and used it as base for new work. In the sense of materials, techniques, colors, forms etc. this work is meaningfull for me. These stones are metaphorically my guideline, the connection between my work and reality.
