Rather than painting as representation or non-representation, my artistic practice draws on the concept of heterotopia, shifting between representation and speculation, reality and fiction. The project entitled Sculptures is intended as an open set, a visual speculation on the medium of sculpture. Film stills provide a fruitful starting point for the paintings because of the ways both film and sculpture deal with time, which is necessary for a conceptual grasp of the three dimensional object. Painting can be meant as an evocation of relief, the ground of relief operating like a picture plane visualising the extension of the object in space. Relief needs light. Painting has its own inner light. I feel that an immediacy and wholeness of the content addressed by painting is hardly available for three-dimensional artworks.However, painting intensifies our lack of certainty as to what we are dealing with. A certain vacillation is a particular forte of the medium of painting, as well as an automatic entry into an unobvious, uncircumscribed space, into mystery. By using what seems an inappropriate medium to discuss sculpture, it could be argued that a productive space is opened up. Poetry comes to my mind.
