ABSTRACT : My work is an approach to something that I don't know exactly and that I only find out by doing. So I need many attempts and wrong ways, until I come to something with which I am satisfied. On paper one can hardly correct – but a next paper lies on the pile, another attempt. In the best case, while working I discover something that is more coherent, more surprising than my own imagination. A successful drawing is simple. It expands into space. It is larger than the paper format. (From the catalog of the exhibition at Villa Langmatt Baden, conversation with Markus Stegmann, Nov 2022) |
