I like the idea of copying an idea several times in different forms with slight differences. Some of my artworks on textile travel to Africa in order to be worked out in batik or paint. The drawing I make on the textile is a reproduction of a design I made according to several sketches, which are influenced by my personal and a collective history of symbols and stiles I borrow from. After that, the person who traces my work in batik has to interpret every single line. In this way the form and meaning changes again slightly. The installation around the 2 dimensional works could be seen as a frame around a classical painting: Its there in honor of the work of art and in order to protect it. The painting would be naked if you take it out of it´s framework. My work is sometimes naked and sometimes dressed up, depends on the situation.
