SUBPICTURES

I start from the idea that primary information about us is stored in the unconscious mind. It communicates with us in its own coded language, which the conscious tries to decode.

I read mythological stories as a method of trying to establish a communication with the unconscious. It inspires me to automatic drawing and free association. Gradually, own experiences blend into the work process.

The works include personal and collective information in new constellations. Simple pairs of opposites are replaced by multiple possible connections, and random order mixes with ordered randomness.

In a micro perspective, the Subpictures are intended to express the interaction between personal and collective information. In a macro perspective, one can consider them as allegories for cultural as well as natural systems and structures.
