Between One Painting and the Next
To see a work as it truly is, distance is needed — distance in space, and distance in time.
In the exhibition space, the artist's living presence — a kind of breath, an unmistakable voice — comes alive in the gaps between works.
In the studio, after one painting is finished and before the next begins, a space opens up: time to sit with oneself.
It is in this interval — this ma, this in-between of space and time — that something real takes form.
What we overlook when we are caught up in following a narrative reveals itself here: consciousness, the unconscious, intuition, thought, choice, hesitation — and the traces they leave behind.
This work is an attempt to imprint onto a flat surface the time and space that took shape during the making of the film. Rather than reproducing the individual images or moving pictures themselves, it tries to bring forward, as faint impressions, the periphery that surrounded the creative process as a whole.
