About "Primal soil - Traces of time"

by Hans Kwaspen

About the artwork

Primal Ground is my ode to the moment when matter shows its history-without words, without trappings. In this work, I have captured a corrugated metal surface, in which vertical rust marks flow over the rhythm of the material like silent rivers. The discolourations and textures are not accidental, but traces of time, of transience that has slowly deposited itself in layers.

My inspiration comes from the mysticism of German philosopher Meister Eckhart, who describes the primal ground as the origin of all images and words. While photographing, I did not feel like a maker, but a witness to a process that had taken place long before my arrival-a visual echo of what once was.

The atmosphere is hushed and earthy, with an undertone of melancholy. In line with Aaron Siskind's abstract photography and the material sensibility of artists like Bernd and Hilla Becher, I let the surface speak for itself. Not an illustration, but a skin that invites reflection.

What makes this work special is the space it offers to the imagination. As a work of art on the wall, it acts as a visual anchor-a place where the gaze comes to rest and the beauty of the ephemeral becomes visible.
