A leaf
consists of leaf tissue and veins. The veins are the leaf’s “blood
vessels,” which lead water and nutrients through the leaves. The veins
also support the leaf itself. One could say that they are the skeleton of the
leaf.
In this series, I have drawn and painted a new skeleton based on this one. The
new skeleton is not identical to the skeleton of the leaf. It is my skeleton.
It is the skeleton that supports me.
I have drawn and painted directly on the leaf. I have UV-printed the result
directly onto a Dibond panel, subsequently I have painted again. This
repainting is me right now.
I am “inventing” very little: With selected instances, motivated solely by
desire, I follow my own tracks, my own paths.
