Description
The painting works with the motif of a female head as the bearer of memory. The covering, the intervention into the canvas, and the stitches here do not function as decoration but as an image of an attempt to hide, remove, or seal something. Memory, however, cannot simply be cut out. Even if we try to cover, replace, or close off a particular trace, a scar remains. In the material as well as in the body. The work speaks of memories that cannot be entirely suppressed. We can try to cut them out or overwrite them with another layer, but their trace remains part of the form we carry on...
