‘Belongliness’

Spring 2021 // Imberg, Salzburg, Austria

Often in my work the colors and movement within the shapes tell separate stories, depending on which shape the viewer focuses on.  Paintings combine tension and the impression of depth with the surfaces of acrylic paint and lime paint. Matte lime paint and thinner acrylic paint create deposits on surfaces. This reinforces the difference between the two spaces in the work: one that is painted intuitively and the second, painted afterwards very carefully covering layers. The study of negative space and form is the final part of the painting, which is an identifiable factor in the works. Surfaces are hidden from the viewer but clues are consciously left behind.
