I am bit lost right now – don't know where to go with my art. What direction to take. And even if do like the creative process I am seldom happy with what I produce. Too serious?! For some time I have indulged in figures on a neutral background. Often blue. They are fun to make – but I just did to many and now I have to do some spring cleaning to get rid of the worst. Whether you want it or not – at one point or another the critical judge do have to appear. So here are some blue ones I like.
I want a change. I kind of painted my self in to a corner and therefore my blue figure period just have to be over, (good riddens) and god know what will follow. Something strange and to me utterly unknown I hope! So this is my last batch of figures (at lest for some time) I promise!

I have started
I have started my own DA. A blog/webpage. Here is a short blogpost:
First we got iPhones, iPad and iPods — now we are happy to present iDerkert. The logical step forward in user interface. He is also almost alive, and carries not only a lot of brains but also a throbbing heart. He likes humans and bots just the same — as long as their automated behavior is polite and friendly. “Sweet”, commented an automaton the fact that iDerkert got a new follower on a social network page. iDerkert became very happy. Many iLikes!

You want it darker? pt 1
After a stay in Sweden summer 2016, two exhibitions and one book project, me and Kathrin Diestel embarked on a trip with our very old mobile home. I am now once again back in Germany. For two and a half month we travelled around the Iberian peninsula; Portugal and Spain. We saw many wondrous landscapes and visited many for us unknown places, and of course I took many photographs that I now have been sorting and fixing up in Photoshop. Here are a few examples. They are all in black and white. Don't know why, they just looked better with out colors. Some are also a bit on the dark side. You want them darker" Good! More black and white photos w

"The Tale of the Tub" (from the late1600) is the title of a social satire by Jonathan Swift, mostly known for his books about Gulliver's travels. His satire mirrors his society in a rather bleak looking glass. What he portrays is ignorance and affectations. In his world mankind cloaks its malevolent inner self with fancy clothes. Clothes and textiles were in Swift's day very useful as symbols and metaphors: "is not religion a cloak, h

I find if you're comfortable doing something, playing it safe, doing what feels right, it helps to do something that puts you off balance. Being uncomfortable makes you grapple with your ideas and media and often results in something unexpected. Pressure off. You could try applying rules like Brigit Riley and keep changing them as you wrap your mind around them. New colour combinations (optical or not), different grounds, scale, tools, medium. You may learn something new about your own processes or fall in love all over again.
