Paintings

Acrylic paint, greasy fingers and shot arrows on engraved panel.

This series consists of works that are the closest thing to painting I’ve done in quite some time. The works are based diagrams taken from the TASHEN series book The World of Ornaments, which were scanned, recombined, removed from their original context and engraved into panels of black MDF. Along with screenprinting the original diagram’s numbers, this results in a rather controled production proces. As a contrast to this semi-automated production proces, the works are pierced by arrows shot with a handbow.
