With a still-life there's less pressure to invent, to come up with a theme, to have something to say ... one avoids the block of the empty white canvas as soon as one begins to make marks, one mark brings the response of the next mark, and so on, in a dialogue between maker, material and design ... making the process more intuitive and less conscious ... suddenly, I realize that there is plenty to say, among others, the visual dialogue with makers from the past, is a relevant to have ... My still-life/s are filled with mood, references to things that fascinate me and recurring themes, as well as personal objects which mean far more than the eye meets. For example, the guitar for many years represented a life partner who was a musician, later, just a love for the shape and aesthetic beauty of the instrument, vessels and jugs are linked to fertility and motherhood among other things such as rusticity and permanency ... statues/figures refer to rituals, contemplation, and all of them have a moody atmosphere ...
