Conditions of Erosion 2026

One layer ends, another emerges. In *Conditions of Erosion*, light surfaces meet ochre, brown, and muted pink tones. Cracks, grainy patches, and protruding edges give the five works their physical surface. Up close, transitions become visible that initially appear calm from a distance.

I do not execute a preconceived idea. I prepare conditions under which something can emerge, and decide as I work what remains. In this process, a break is not simply a damaged surface. It transforms the image: it reveals something, draws a boundary, or connects areas that previously appeared separate.

The five squares from 2026 belong together without repeating one another. Sometimes a horizontal layer edge defines the surface; other times, it is a diagonal opening or the alternation between a dense structure and a large, light field. I am also interested in how the works interact when placed side by side: A calmer surface allows the breaks in the next image to stand out differently.

The surfaces may be reminiscent of weathered walls, layers of earth, or dry ground. I do not dictate what is to be seen in them. It is more important to me that viewers look more closely and find something of their own within them.
