Loudly into silence
2023, paper, wire, paste, 200 x 150 x 100 cm
I love silence,
when I can delve deep into a material in full concentration.
Working with paper helps me find calm - a quiet conversation.
Only the rustling of the paper, the slap of my paste-covered hands on the surfaces and bases and my breath can be heard.
But in me, in my thoughts and in the work, the silence is very loud - a thunderous symphony.
The materiality of paper does not permit the trumpets, trombones, and horns to make a sound.
But our imagination resounds with a clanging, warning, triumphant concert.
It heralds of that which stirs life up and destroys, or it calls us to awake, jubilant.
