Artist Statement:
I look for the universal
beneath the particular and for
the particular above the
universal.
I draw on a sheet of paper
placed on floor - I move
around the paper and then mark
down the lines and dots
capturing the very moment at
hand. No pre-made plans in my
head. When drawing a line or
dot my whole effort and
attention is there at the tip
of the pencil. By listening to
the momentary sound the pencil
makes on the surface, every
drawing is the most truthful
memory of the time taken up by
the making of the drawing.
There is no beginning or end,
no top or bottom, no reference
to the scale of it all. In the
viewers’ eyes, ears and mind,
the continuous movement of
lines and dots on the surface
offers many kinds of silence.
In my video work I point my
video camera towards carefully
chosen ordinary phenomena and
record long takes without
moving the camera in the hope
that something essential about
the subject matter reveals
itself. I study the footage
closely by slowing it way down
and at times reversing it. I
try looking at it upside down
or sideways, all this ...
