A girl with her skateboard. Why shouldn't girls be able to do this just as well as boys. Like everything actually. A topical theme that starts with our children.
Children inspire me. Their ability to transcend a certain rotten situation is astonishing. Play tag in the ruins of a bombed-out Syrian city. Playing football in the most miserable neighborhoods. They are always looking for the light. They will save the future that really messed up our generations, and not even blame us for it. If we could just keep the child inside ourselves a little bit more, we wouldn't be in such a mess. Art can help us to regain our childhood innocence.

I remembered that as a young girl I so much liked to cut images from magazines to paste them into school agendas, scrapbooks and even on my bedroom door. Add to this the fascination I always had for walls filled with old posters, flaking paint, scrappy billboards and weathered paint, it opened an unexpected door for completely new opportunities. Completely unintended I found a new way of working, I felt pleasurably and comfortably at home in. What started out as copying old walls with worn out posters has grown into many series of new visual storytelling. Not simply just eclecticism, but bringing together many seemingly incoherent story lines into one completely new story, my own personal story. Initially it lacked the one thing that is important to me, the transparency that normally only is possible with the use of watercolor. The unforgiving layering of transparent watercolors is a challenge I would not want to miss and after a lot of trial and error I finally succeeded in getting the collages as transparent as a watercolor. Every layer of paper, oil, acrylic, pencil, crayon, ballpoint, watercolor, ink, charcoal and whatever else I use, remains visible in the artwork. You can imagine it made me feel the queen of the ball !
