Beneath Covers: Dreams of (Be)longing

“I am working with encapsulation and covers. What does it mean to feel protected? And why does something partly covered intensify someone else’s attention? The translucency of a protection, as clear lacquer, implies inaccessibility for the viewer: The shiny cover seeks for attention, attention for the untouchable inside. I am interested in the layer between inside and outside, between object and viewer. And how this layer changes if there is no inside. Just as potato peel without potato. For me

it’s about the mystery around us. Hiding, aiming for protection, is what releases a temptation for unveiling.”
