My artistic praxis dwells on mechanical repetition and the pleasure of giving up control.

 

I set up the primary conditions of my printing set, observing how a squeegee blade slowly peels masking tape off a screen, unfolding a series of transformations. I let them develop themselves.

 

The excitement to be surprised by an accident, by something that just happened due to quality of the materials, play a significant role for me.

The outcomes I produce result mostly in abstraction, which initially possesses no other meaning than what it is by itself. It contains no symbolism or narration, just a trace of the printing process. Nevertheless, as plane visual shapes on the surfaces have a profound tradition, some of my abstractions fall by chance into certain visual tropes. I find it fascinating, that a shape made accidentally and connected with colour invokes stronger associations and illusions, while another stays a formal shape. This means, that the expressive means of the medium are not only technical and material but also social and historical. I am curious to investigate the variety of aspects of the very notion of medium and its mechanisms.
