The works above deal with different sides of light, which is the focus of my work at the moment. I am interested in the diversity and complexity of this subject. Already for centuries light is investigated from many sides and in different ways. However we still do not know what light is exactly. The more this subject is investigated, the more complex it becomes. (the more questions come to light!) The fascination of certain artists, including myself, for the subject of light can partly be explained by this. The long and important role light has played and still plays in art history is an aspect in my work, its continual development as a subject and as an object. The intrinsic properties of light (e.g. absorption, reflection, refraction, color, storage area and carrier of information) also interest me. I work with these properties to create sculptures and photographs, which represents these effects. Moreover, these properties of light are directly used at a certain time and at certain places, through installations or photographs. The medium of photography is important in my work, while it registers light. Another side of light, the side where light can stand for or speak about something else (e.g. enlightened, angles, presence) is integral to my work as well. Generally speaking, I am investigating the broad spectrum of light, what it represents and what it can be. www |
