Morris
22" x 30"
silkscreen on cotton paper, monotype
2011
"My work consists of silk-screened prints on wood and paper through which I integrate various mediums: drawing, painting, digital art, linocut, engraving, photography and found images. Just as there are many possible ways of looking at a situation, wood and paper are subject to countless layerings and reconstructions. In the end, there is no edition – each print being unique and produced in different formats and materials.
Through my work, I question the interchangeable aspect of image, the relationship between the subject and its physical, immediate environment: modularity, sequences, repetitions, inversions, appearances, disappearances, repeated motifs and reorganisation thus allow me to interpret my relationship to space, to sample it and to re-arrange it constantly. I like to take images out of their original context, breathing new narratives into it – for me, their history and setting don’t belong to the past so much as they are forged through layering.
By showing everyday objects, urban furniture, fibre motifs, and by revisiting architectural elements, I interpret this environment in a real or metaphorical way. I am fascinated by the blurred and often imaginary frontier between place and non-place. My aim is to find the space left to a vernacular, domestic or personal landscape in a more public and global context."
