VIRTUAL WORLDS a diary
These are works that capture memory, the memory of everyday life. It may sometimes seem mundane, fascinating, extreme, unsettling or poetic, but it is part of life. What is art, if not an attempt to engage the viewer through the image?
Since memory is always coloured by personal experience and is often imprecise and free, I employ a great freedom of form in this series of works, which at times may seem unskilled or flawed, even childlike. That is the charm of the work, its unpretentiousness. Here, it is the means of giving form to the uniqueness of memory.
In addition, for this series, in keeping with our computer age: communicating through pictograms, I have also designed my own pictograms which appear in the work for clarification. So I can tell a story purely through pictograms. But usually it is a combination of past observations supplemented with pictograms. The fact that it is depicted here in a very personal way makes the work highly authentic and unmistakable.
