PRECIOUS feelings I have about some certain subtle pieces I hyde in my studio shelves. They dried during creation so I couldn`t continue, or they got some damages, later some severe damages … This hurts, and I feel they mean more to me, because they will never turn “finished”, but will pass instead, as we all will. BUT FOR NOW they are the most precious things I can bring to our world.
ALL THINGS MUST PASS
is a show I installed a month after Russia invaded Ukraine and is about the decline of Europe. It’s an intense story of 52 works spread over a passage through 5 rooms. Many different types of works are collaged here in which I dare to extend my investigation beyond mere “reading and concluding”. Here I playfully explore the use of spatial form as language not for specific moods only but actually for story telling as well. Heads are combined with sketches, fragments, figures, works in process, and heavily damaged sculptures.
