In this series, large-format carbon plates are created that take up the repetitive texture of the mesh of carbon fibers and distort and individualize them using various techniques (collage, fragmentation, decomposition). Because a pattern remains, albeit with breaks and distortions, this is where the work on and with the picture begins for me. This approach to my thematic focus is similar to my view of painting as painting itself. Painting also goes through different evaluation criteria that try to subject a manual, chaotic, often intuitive, closed system to a definable stylization. In my work process, I contrast the painterly effect with the tension created by technique and methodology. Therefore, for me, the images do not function as structures appearing as trompe-l'oeil or otherwise acquiring illusionistic, naturalistic, or spatial meanings. Rather the opposite occurs, every possible illusion drifts away, suspends itself, reveals itself as an illusion and recognizes itself, leading to a more sensitive perception.
To go into the pattern again in more detail, I'm less concerned with the incorrect representation of an otherwise equivalent pattern, rather I try to filter out the ordinary, the decorative element in such a way that there is a kind of concentration of function, coincidence, effect and my own artistic decisions . The pattern turns out to be a grid and a body of comparison for all of these criteria. My previous formal approach to the design of the patterns are noise images from screens (white noise) and sober wall textures of woodchip wallpaper, but also exponential growth structures from nature and simulative digital imitations of naturalness. At the end, hardened monochrome carbon fiber panels laminated with clear varnish will be on display, which will differ from one another with a texture that I have discovered and which openly offer themselves in their interpretation and effect as contact surfaces. With this presentation, I would like to evoke a transfigured longing for feelings and expectations in the recipient and create an experience of immediacy.
