"In my work, I am dealing with the violation of individuals, open wounds, but also with heeling. Carrying the inside out: That's my concern in paintings like the head-pictures, which aren't portraits, but pictures of the soul."
Text to the painting: THE SHIRT
Baneful and morbid forms are spread in the pictorial space. Their origin is the major head.
From the major head as origin of events little beings work on threads to make connections. Ties made of threads evolve into traps. The wire is the pain of the creature, he perforates the skin. Violations are made.
The shirt a symbol of nakedness, unprotectedness, divestiture. The threads as connection, holy contact but at the same time the danger of constriction, captivation.
The wire as instrument of violence towards the individual.
The question about the origin of events is to be found in the big head, the central point.
The endeavour about the punished being, at the same time identification with the naked and lonely state of being.
Naked and uncovered the figure awakes the need to devotion.
"I am caring for you, but perhaps I will hurt you."
Cruelty and tenderness lie closely together.
The desire for violation
The necessity
The power over the creature.
