" Within Earshot of Unsung Songs" , Ink, collage, and marker on paper, 33× 43cm.
From my Black Black Gold series.
Should we wait for greatness to happen? Or is it always coincidence to witness it? Can it be made by others or only by the ones delivering it? If it is expected, does it not become a burden more than a joyful event? How much does greatness depend on perception - can not anything be great, or is a crowd' s approval necessary?
The series shows surreal depictions of deeper thoughts that cannot well be defined in picture, which is why the approach is symbolic, sometimes dark, but always hopeful, and reminding us of the responsibilities we have as social creatures towards ourselves and others. The images themselves are drawn on thin black toned paper using a deeper black ink with sheen that makes objects visible from certain angles. Gold marker is used for large graphic elements and decorative foil to create the ever-present human element in each image. Finally, gold glitter and glitter stars are applied to guide the eye along the symbolically important focal areas.
