Skies Away - a studio Archaeology painting project



"Skies Away" is an experimental Studio-Floor-Transfer-painting-series in progress.

The series consists of thin color excavations being preserved on linen, handkerchiefs and paper,
 embracing the accidental outcome.

"Skies Away" is peeling off paint that has accumulated on the in plastic covered studio floor over the course of the past 7 years.

Skins - acrylic paintings on collages - part 1


Skins

Skins are  monochromatic paintings in acrylic on various geometrically ordered collages, which consist of multiple sheets of letter-size paper.

Skins grow out of papers called “time-sheets”, which are unwanted drawings, paintings, prints, sketches, notes, flyers, form-letters, texts, everything ready to be torn up and thrown away, or anything considered not being a “finished” art-piece in the 8,5 x 11 inches paper format. These “time-sheets” end up in various “recycle stacks” spanning over a long period of time. The joining of the single “time-sheets” (most of them printed, or worked on from both sides) is very intuitive, so the backsides are accidental fusions of various documents of time, preserving the provisional quality of a stack of used paper, while still displaying all personal content from a time-span of about twenty years.  Through the gluing and multilayered painting processes the single sheets meld together into smooth, wavy and wrinkly, monochrome light-fields, revealing faint indications of their geometrical structure.

Skins are shielded personal landscapes, uneven, almost aged surfaces that conceal private information, transcending into empty quietness; meaning- and timeless abstract spaces of open interpretation. They are  silent reminders of erased content, voids of no incident encouraging a state of contemplative meditation in the viewer.
