It always starts with an empty table and a stack of magazines. With some colours in mind, I simply start collecting. In this work, I wanted to combine the strips of paper with images. What relationship does the background establish with the foreground?
The images are connected in different proportions as a whole. In some images, the identity is partially lost. But that is precisely where the tension lies. What is what & what do they mean to each other in meaning of the image?
In this collage, you see flowers, mysterious red booklet, hairbrush, part of a bustier, raspberry, lipstick, red pencil, poppies, pair of compasses with lips, candles, herbs, caps and red shoes.
This work is made in A5 format. All images are hand torn.
