Waiting for spring temperatures, I relocated from my studio to the graphic department at the Royal Institute of Art; a detour, but a productive one. In painting, I have been blending red, yellow and blue to achieve neutral gray shades. Now, using lithography, I print overlapping fields of the same primary colours in various sequences. The resulting hues are all but neutral, and (more interesting) they turn out very different according to the order in which they’re printed.

Twelve paintings, studies for a next step. One morning I wake up, feeling like falling out of the horizon. Is it possible not to seek beauty? I guess not. Could I hope for expanding my understanding of beauty? I guess.
