In 2014 I started a series of drawings called "dust to dust". I draw the dust, hair and stains as well as useless
plastic parts and mould. All things that accumulate by themselves in my studio. They are, so to speak,
manifestations that arise, mostly unconsciously, through my own being and that of the people close to me. I
am particularly interested in the things that we would rather not see and usually prefer to dispose of or hide.
The process of drawing takes almost as long as it takes for dust fluff and other things to accumulate
naturally. The unwanted, incidental product takes on new meaning and value as a crayon drawing. By
transforming this microcosm in drawing, I try to find parallels to the macrocosm, accepting the inherent
contradictions. While science explores the composition of matter, I try to understand the meaning of matter
through the means of art. To illustrate the connection between microcosm and macrocosm, the concept
involves getting „dustdrawings“ out into the world again through exhibitions and sales.
In my search for an answer to the question of what constitutes the meaning of life, I realise how relative our
individual answers can be. Just as relative as the perception of the viewer, who often finds it difficult to
distinguish between the real and the drawn dust when looking at my drawings.
