My Studio
/ 2023Series of watercolours painted onto the wall of my studio; torn off and mounted onto linen canvases.
Platform trolleys, ivy.
Variable dimensions.
The work is a series of five walls tearing executed between 2022 - 2023 within my temporary studio in the city of Utrecht. Exploring the structure of this old building owned by U. University, on temporary artistic lease, I have "frescoed" forgotten images from my digital archive using watercolour painting. My intention was to capture the architectural memory of the place before its future renovation.
Vibrant and colorful foldable trolleys, which ironically assume the role of mobile pedestals upon which the architectural tears are organized, remnants and fragments of spaces invite new perspectives and viewpoints.
Symbolically, ivy plants adorning the windows of my studio emerge from the openings and tears themselves, growing and blossoming.
It is the constant relationship between image and place that drives me to fragment the space, almost as if to carve it, creating a new memory, one that is material, fragile, and mobile
