707 Drawing

I examine a fundamental aspect of visual experience, the line. Lines are among the most intuitive means to perceive and understand our environment. Everything that we see can be broken down to fundamental components such as lines. They form contours, shapes and color boundaries. The line itself, however, cannot be broken down to smaller parts. The line, as we see it, is constructed by nothing but itself. In this sense the line is independent. It does not represent an idea as it is not constructed by anything other than itself. The shapes and patterns occurring in my drawings have no other purpose than to reveal the movements of lines. The observer of my lines is confronted with an independent entity. Focussing on independent structures, such as lines, is a way to find a common ground of perception whilst allowing for different interpretations. We all see the lines, yet we see different objects in them, have different associations, feelings, ideas about them. My lines cannot escape representing more than themselves. They remind us of motifs and structures of nature: grass, flocks of birds, flowers, hair or the universe. Most importantly, we all know that we see lines. And we all know that what each individual sees in those lines, is only what that individual sees in those lines. My lines are an invitation to sharpen our senses to differentiate between what is the case and what we want to be the case.
