Yoni near the cottage


The second work is more or less permanent, subject to human interference though, the act itself is an intrusion that I have subjected the pebbles and stones to. The process is to sift through so as to create a structure in a space which has been purely functional. I often also imagined the space to be viewed through satellites and see if this was visible or not; combination of the primitive and advanced technology to communicate. The structure of drawing starts from a point where it very naturally flows into becoming a shape from nothing and moves towards getting dissolved in the background again.
The structure again is of the yoni, the earth, something that gives life. The idea is to also make a space which is covered by stones hence lifeless into something that becomes alive. Like an organ which thrives.
The view often comes across as spaces from geography textbooks. It could be in fact a mini space, a barricade when zoomed into.
