About "Primal ground - Stillness"

by Hans Kwaspen

About the artwork

Primal ground is my ode to the silent story of matter-to what becomes visible when time, weather and impermanence have done their work. In this work, I have captured a galvanised metal surface in which subtle rust stains are scattered like constellations across the rhythm of the corrugated sheet pattern. The image is basic but charged: a skin that speaks without words.

My inspiration comes from the mysticism of German philosopher Meister Eckhart, who describes the primal ground as the origin of all images and words. While photographing, I did not feel like a maker, but a listener-as if the surface itself whispered its history, shaped by time and silence.

The atmosphere is hushed and industrial, with an undertone of melancholy. In line with Aaron Siskind's photographic abstraction and the material sensibility of artists like Bernd and Hilla Becher, I let the surface itself carry meaning. Not an illustration, but an invitation to reflection.

What makes this work special is the space it offers to the viewer's imagination. It is not an image of something recognisable, but a visual silence that reveals itself differently each time. As a work of art on the wall, it acts as an anchor point-a place where the gaze is allowed to rest and the mind is allowed to wander.
