About Me

- wit
- Leipzig / Germany and Winterthur / Switzerland
- We all carry information. Ordering and translating such into my world of pictures is the subject of my work. I often start with photo sketches which I transfer using different methods. This not only strengthens reality, it also puts it into perspective, expressing my current state of understanding. It invites the viewer to search for the core of the matter.

in the park I
In the Park
Joachim RingelnatzBeneath a very little tree stood a very little fawn
Enhanced as in dreams on the lawn.
That was at night, at twelve-ten.
Before dawn, at four at least
I happened to pass by again,
And there, still a-dream, was the little beast.
I crept slowly, as still as can be,
Against the breeze to the tree,
Gave the doe a peck, drew away.
It was made of clay.

december
December's focus was on practicing my routine in edging.
I was either working in soft-ground (the following) or
drypoint technique (all the others). It is fascinating work that needs tremendous time, with various cycles of proofs and refinements :)

Today's focus was to draw with charcoal - a crumbling experience... but much better - for insiders - than listening to a webcast ;) Unbelievable that I just recently did my luggage, as illustrated below... Your feedback is always very welcome...
