In my ink drawings from the work group "mind open" I explore the exciting interaction of contrast and movement on Chinese paper. A visual dynamic unfolds with light and dark circles. This dynamic is reinforced by the transparency and lightness of the paper, blurring the boundaries between the images and their surroundings, and viewers are invited to delve deeper into the variety of formations and their meanings.

The circles represent more than just individual elements; they form a central field of tension between the individual and the collective, and reflect the human experience of closeness and distance. By alternating the application of light and dark ink, the soft Chinese paper gains a three-dimensional quality.

For me, each sheet is a unique interplay of ordered and random patterns that incorporate the space. The circles represent thoughts and ideas of particular individuals that unfold freely and limitlessly from the mind. The variation in the intensity of the ink, from almost invisible lines to deep black filled shapes, creates a depth and complexity that challenges both perception and imagination.

With "mind open" I would like to address the search for balance and movement - movement that pauses in moments of stillness and order that comes with change. It is an invitation to see with an open mind that every end contains a new beginning and in every order a new development is possible.

The world comes into being and develops through the encounter and movement of the smallest.
