‘See What You Don’t’ (2011)

It also means ‘Hear, Smell, Sense, Remember, Know What You Don’t’ without trying to explain, interprete, analyse, measure, compare, or make sense of it.

February 2011, New York

What has been a virgin white surface now slowly changes again, giving glimpses on what’s been buried underneath in the long months of winter; machines, vehicles, equipment, parts, tires, old bags, containers …
The softness of the snow and the perseverance of the machines withstanding seems contradictionary yet illusive; as, even as the snow yields to spring, it will come back when the machines are long gone.

I wish I’d had more time to properly finish the book – but then, it probably would have taken years and years.

So I’m participating in the Arthouse Co-op Sketchbook Projekt 2011, starting at the end, at the beginning and also right in the middle.
Tools & materials I’m using so far:
Acrylic paint, ink, ballpoint pen, fixative spray, coffee staints, postage stamps, ribbon, my little brother’s toy rubber stamp letters, adhesive letters found in a partially burnt hole driller truck, cake paper, iron-on transfer paper.
