Edgar's Night
Watercolour on paper 35 x 47cm
The artist feels a strong and intimate attachment to the object "Ribbon"; used when exchanging gifts with friends or to decorate hair during childhood. For the artist ribbons are not a one-time ornament used for gift wrapping, rather it serves as an emotional medium reminiscent of warm hearts exchanged with people in childhood and as a psychotherapy to heal dark and negative emotions. Through the process of reproducing the flexible, soft form and bright, lively colours of the ribbon in paintings, the artist experiments with the ribbon as a fundamental object in a new visual language that stimulates emotions and imagination and gives the audience a fresh visual experience.
