Efeu (Ivy)
“There are different varieties, but one of them has a leaf with 3 lobes. When I hold the leaf in front of me as if it were a mirror, it points both backwards, forwards and up… at the same time.
A capability that is hard to match, yet exemplary as ambition.”
I wrote the above text that accompanied the series RE-building introducing the plant ivy.
And the very same words made me aware that the germ of yet another series was visible… namely this one.
With this series, I myself take a step back…
Leaves from different varieties are depicted in works, in which the front of the leaf is shown on one side, while the back of the leaf is seen on the other side. Front and back.
The leaf is as whole as it can be, “a homage à”, where I at most is given an assist. The series is an attempt to make a pass to open space… to use a phrase taken from sports.
