Within three weeks my Surface Research project has had it's first year. Much too short and it passed away like a cigarette in smoke. Fast, pleased with the prospect but finally dissatisfying when the end is near. Why? Because many questions aren't answered, the subject of the destructive element in creating art pieces isn't yet clear to me. The palimpsests and the specific texts used in the palimpsests were a start that dealt with construction and destruction. Precise construction by drawing the texts in grids using a ruler and compasses, well kept in hand destruction by scratching out the texts with a cutter.
After that I made a step backwards by working with specific conditions of a surface which is going to be used for drawings. It was necessary that dimensions had a reason and that is why I worked with the Golden Ratio and the Triangle of Kepler. Again many possibilities in drawings and the destruction of the drawings has been invested.
In the final three weeks I am going to make some new "destructed" drawings to complete the exhibition I am planning for Monday May 31 till Thursday June 3 in the Rietveld pavilion.
Invitation card will be posted soon on this blog.
