CURRENTS/BODIES

‘In its own nature, water does not commit itself in any way; chemically it is neutral and therefore has a multitude of possibilities for nearly all chemical changes.’ (L. J. Henderson’s, ‘The Fitness of the Environment’)

‘A Whale!’, drawing on a transparent paper, inkcharocal and pastel, 100x70cm, 2025

A line of a drawing has always had the freedom to be the first expressive element. It shows the relationship between time and space, figure and the background, the relationship between definite and infinite. As usually in arts, it is about the process.

The process of following the flow; the flow of mind; therefore, a consciousness and the sensitivity of under subconsciousness. To see an image, a body of water. Before doing so, I observe the currents at the water’s surface. Observation of its lines, appearing and disappearing, how it creates images, shapes infinite lines and leaves traces of water’s movement. The fascinating fact is that we can observe these ‘frozen movements’ also in wood, our bones and other bodies, which are created by the water.

Falling as a drop, water oscillates about the shape of a sphere; or as a dew fallen on a clear and starry night it transforms an unconscious meadow into a starry heaven of sparkling drops.’ (T.Schwenk, Sensetive Chaos)
