About the work
In the exhibition le temps trois, I am concerned with the phenomena of temporality: temporality of the work of art, which is not understood as an entity, but as process. In my work on canvas I make pencil drawings between layers of primer. The series implant are casts of the moment of contact, embedded in the object. The plaster units may be assembled to form displays as in alpha and rhombus. At the same time they appear as sculptures in Plastik, Zeiger and Pendulum.Text provided by the artist
