About Me
- wit
- Leipzig / Germany and Winterthur / Switzerland
- We all carry images within us that randomly catch our eye as we experience things by chance. Uncovering these casually noticed images is the subject of my work. I often start with photos taken “by chance”, which I transfer using analog and digital methods into color and contrast compositions – this not only strengthens reality, it also puts it into perspective, expressing both anonymity and subjectivity. The multipurposeness of paper and the dilution of colors also play an important role in my work. For example, using gravure printing with photopolymer plates enhances the statement of each image, making the images irritating and – as consequence of the haptic presence of the subject – more lively and personal, but also very vulnerable

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'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 :)
