Neo-Geo 2024 Blah-Blah Projektraum, Berlin
Paintings from the 2024 Neo-Geo: a ‘new geography’ of the subconscious series
I let the shapes, forms and lines emerge intuitively, the decisions made are more visceral than intellectual. I don’t know what the end result will be until I reach the point of ‘this is it’.
“The immediate sensory event becomes the mediating medium of non-verbal knowledge, the sensory experience becomes the foundation of knowledge and understanding”. (Prof. Dirk van der Meulen)
Here to there and back – again 2022 Kurt-Kurt Projektzentrale, Berlin
An older piece (Split, 1993) comes into dialogue with newer works (Flow, 2018 and Growth, 2022) in the back space.
A video loop, Down the Pan from the series What didn’t happen to me in Berlin (2006) finds an appropriate location in the project space’s toilet.
Sculpture Garden (2014 – 2018) is accompanied by new paintings in the front space.
VANREBER 2018 Werkhalle Wiesenburg, Berlin
I was very happy to exhibit with three former co-students from our 1996/97 Chelsea Art School days: Sara Björnsdottir (Reykjavik), Elizabeth Russell (Vancouver) and Silke Thoss (Berlin)
Here to there and back 2018 Projektraum Blah-Blah, Berlin
Four sculptures, three new and one very old, combine industrially produced elements – steel, rubber, acetate – and more unpredictable materials – wax, plaster, expanding foam and soot. The Minimalist aesthetic presents a pared down statement that change is possible within a given structure or system.
Flow, 2018, rubber mat, plaster
Swing, 2018, steel wire and support, wax
BPS, 2018, steel tubes, spray foam
Smoke, 1994, acetate, wire, smoke deposits
Once upon a time 2018 Projektraum Blah-Blah, Berlin
A playful, garden-like collection of works produced since 2014. The works are sometimes this, sometimes that. The idea takes form; that it takes the form it needs is the goal.
