Series description and interpretation
Studio Diary-Paper Walls
Once they have been painted and dried, the Paper-Diaries are hung on the wall to the right of my worktop. It takes 112 parts to fill a wall and about a year of my time. When the wall is finished, my work is done. Since 2011 the Paper-Diaries have assumed this new form: that year’s wall is placed inside a box coated with a colour that on the outside is inspired by the last piece of paper and on the inside by the first. The work is always installed so that it recreates the dimensions of my studio wall: 274 x 217 cm. The chronologically ordered pieces of paper are read from left to right like a piece of writing and become a page in a notebook, a diary.
This series stoped in 2018.
