Series description and interpretation
Paper-Diaries
As well as the canvases, from 1999 to 2018 I had regularly painted with oil pastels and oil sticks on watercolour paper. Almost every day in a certain systematic way, I applied a colour to at least one piece of paper. Each piece is composed of three layers of colour. Every day a colour; every day a layer; every paper three layers. Once the paper is dry, it is hung up in chronological order on my studio wall.
One after the other, the pieces of paper represent fragments of time passing.
