Big In Japan

Third Piece in a series that deals with physical abuse througout my childhood

Scar Tissue III

Inherited / Folklore -


This is the first piece of a series in a new series I am working on.

This project has been imagined long ago, when I still was a teenager.

It started when I found a big chest full of linen and silks.. bed sheets..table clothes...napkins...some pieces of clothing...in my grandmothers attic.

She told me they belonged to my creole greatgrandmother and I asked if i could have them.

I had no idea what I d wanted them for, I just knew I wanted to turn them into art. The idea of these fabrics being in such imtimate physical contact with my greatgrandmother and her family fascinated me...

But then I stopped painting before I could do anything with these fabrics.

Eventhough I stopped I added more fabrics from family members when they passed and kept them safe like a treassure.

A few months ago I started painting again ..and finally knew how to turn the fabrics I had kept for so long into something meaningful.

This is more or less a prototype for a bigger piece. The plan is to re-create it on a larger scale ( 3 x 3 meters or larger) later this year. 
It´s the first piece in a series about loss and re-filling that hole, that space, that is left in your life and soul, with something that has meaning and gives you piece of mind.
in october 2021 Thifar I was published in the third issue of The Purposeful Mayo:
