Just a bunch of floating figures. Nothing more than that. Attention for each other, literally connected. One is curious, the other shy. The image of the grey people comes from one of my paintings on which a hundred of these individuals are jumping around, partly above water and partly below water. I combine everything in a collage: photos, drawings, sketches, paintings, pieces of watercolor, checkered paper, clippings of sewing patterns, newspaper clippings, pieces of French text from magazines, etc. The collage is made by spitting through my archives built up over the years. The collage is created in stages. At the easel, on the drawing board, photographed and again split into parts. Repetition of actions, weighing the result, taking distance and doing nothing for a few days and then continue to work because the image suddenly forms and the work comes out from under your hands. Inspired by Picasso, Matisse, Asger Jorn, Keith Haring.
