Drawings
Drawing according to self-chosen rules, with a limited number of materials. Working according to strict rules gives room for the unexpected.
366 drawings (2023/2024)
Project from 5th August 2023 till 4th August 2024: a drawing a day within 15x15(x15) cm, with various materials. The theme for the whole year: One more line a day. One line on day 1, two on day 2, three hundred and sixty-six on day 366. A total of 67,171 lines.
Series 2 (2022)
Snow drawings. Working with the characteristics of snow: it is soft, white, it reflects, it is ephemeral and changeable.
1. To create a contrast with the softness of snow I placed sugar lumps on the surface. They sunk into the snow, and while melting they created deep shafts.
2. Drawing on snow with black pigment. It snowed, and then it rained. The lines grew thicker, disappeared, and dissolved in the depth of the snow. The dug out drawing show how the pigment trickled down into the snow.
3. A small round mirror creates light and shadow.
4. Playing with scale. Ice sticks were placed at the end of a ridge to create a barrier. They disintegrated in the sun.
5. Creating a pattern by pushing a ball into the snow. Over a couple of days snowfall and sunny weather changed the hollow shapes
