  1. THIS COFFEE CUP, THIS KNIFE, THIS FORK
    2019 / 2020, collages, mixed materials on paper, sizes vary from A5 to A2

    I created a series of approximately 450 collages. The collages combine paper cut shapes, elements of drawings and textual excerpts. The latter are exclusively borrowed bits and phrases  from ‘The Waves’, a novel by Virginia Woolf. Reassembling them, new sentences are constructed. 

    This series of collages are somehow doubled representations; in the interaction between language and image. Figurative and abstract languages intersect. In the same way as the word “characters” serve for fictional figures and for letters, all pieces on the page push, shift and balance interpretation. In the course of making the series, words repeated themselves and the pattern of these arising elements, became the starting point for reading the collages as a script for a performance.
