Since 1996, I have been working on ”Art Spaces.” They are spaces in which it is possible to contrast the light transparency and opaque materiality of my wax intaglios, which needed walls to act as doubles, and upon which they could hang.

Three Elements of the Art Spaces:
1. Heavy wooden panels leaned against the wall, positioned close to each other; these art walls are horizons containing drawing (up to 225 x 625 cm).
2. The ”drawn horizon”, a line on the surrounding walls, consists of series of five, small-format panels (25 x 35 cm).
3. Sheets of paper hanging in the space, covered in transparent wax, images on both sides (225 x 125 cm).

The layered wooden panels have been etched, carved, and sawn, using flat rasps, planes, and chain saw. The series of small format panels and the large format works form a horizon that runs along the space. The larger than life-size transparencies make the viewer aware of individual, sketch-like allusions to a thorax in each work.

Between the massive, heavily furrowed, carved panels and the thin-skinned, transparent sheets of paper, a site is created in which a comprehensive, more complex artistic gesture takes over.
