In Preparation: Project X, First Edition of 2 Accordians

Project X is a collaboration with painter and art critic Marjorie Welish. We’ve been working on our project when Marjorie invited me for a collaborative dialogue in 2019. To start we had agreed on which words we would concentrate on, complex concepts from the book A work, and .../ by Marjorie. Also in addition, I suggested categories of words which have a certain attraction, a more musical association. I selected the words and worked them out into images. Marjorie responded to this with six images with drawings and actions: overlapping and superimposing images.

The images have now been printed, mine here in Amsterdam and Marjorie’s in New York. The giclee prints are folded as accordians (also called ‘lepporellos’ or zig-zag folds) and are brought together in an archival box. They will accompany an exhibition of our collaboration . More information will follow soon.

The Fall Benefit has become an ever more successful event each year to generate support for ISCP.
I donated a MISS - white - green print, from the Five Four, More Less series for this auction on Artsy.

During my residency at ISCP in 2017, I worked on the series which was based on a selection of words in English consisting of four letters. I referenced Robert Indiana’s artwork LOVE, in which the four letters comprising the word are stacked in units of two to form a square. Approaching letters as abstract motifs and signs, that is to say the meaning of the word is secondary - while the interplay between the shapes and the background, between positive and negative space, is crucial. The images are composed of broader colored planes as well as lines of different thickness.
