HOME PLOT
2016–2017 / 2019–2021
I began the series "Home Plot" in 2016 out of dismay at the influx of refugees from Syria. I am preoccupied with the tension in the limbo between leaving and arriving. One house that becomes many houses. Houses that have been abandoned or never reached at all. Houses that remain incomplete like memories when they fade, or like the longing that an image can only approach.
The series follows on from earlier series of drawings. A found image, in this case a situation in Alaska, is also used or consumed in order to generate new images from it again and again. With the help of stencils, its edge zones as well as inner and outer areas are sprayed. In places where the spray can delivers its colour very close to the stencil, it happens that the stencil is submerged, i.e. a lake of colour penetrates where there was actually a mask. Then I keep breaking out of a lake of colour with the brush.
