"The day after all is gone" - cleaning the space means to clear the space, cleaning as maintenance, a job to do, unnoticed - until nothing remains. Clearing leaves an open illuminated space for something else to become. It is a lived experience of a performance for a silent audience. Cleaning the space of my residency at Galerie Forum Alte Werft Papenburg (Germany), recorded July 2021. Clay balls

Cleaning & Clearing

Encounter with affordances of an environment, an encounter with moments of magic making one to pause and suspend preconceived ideas. Embracing such moments as encounter can provide a preverbal understanding interactions in a social space of appearance. A social practice involving also non-human agents. An installation with found objects, made artefacts, and the agency of chance during my artist residency at Galerie Forum Alte Werft Papenburg (Germany), May - Jun 2021. Charcoal on paper, clay balls, chance and finding perspectives

Encounter

exploring spaces, becoming spaces, an intimate experience of proximity and distance through repetitive singulars. Researching spaces through drawing them out as a corporeal presence of being
