Hello Josiane! I’ve just recently started following contemporary art, but when I saw PH21 Gallery’s facebook event, I immediately had an inexplicable feeling and affection to attend the guided tour.
And my senses did not fail me! The guide was well beyond prepared about your art, the parallelism with Nan Goldin, and gave an in-depth presentation of your.
Also your art, the ‘universe’ you created with all these fascinating characters is fantastic and creates a paradox feeling of self-destruction, path-finding, faithlessness, yet all this encapsulated within a community where one can sense true devotion, friendship, love and passion towards each other.
This is a great exhibition and I love your art and all the emotions, thoughts and questions it raised in me. I couldn’t go straight home after the tour, I had to sit in a pub with a beer to think about myself, what freedom means for me, where I’d love to REALLY belong, where I’d really love to be and see myself…
I don’t know what is your goal and ‘mission’ with your art, but you’ve definitely achieved to leave a mark in me with these photos, stories and your personality resurge from all this. Thank you for that, thank you for your desire and efforts in expressing your world and stories to us!
thank you very much for coming to see my show and attending this event, as the gallerists told me on a particularly nasty winter evening! I am very obliged to PH21 Gallery not only for having selected me for this solo-show, but for having gone more than “the extra mile” to present this project to the public. I am so glad my work could speak to you.
When you say you do not know what my goal and mission is in my art, that is exactly what I am trying to achieve. My work is very sensitive to my current surrounding and impressions and a direct imprint of what I experience, of course it is my personal filter of situations and experiences that I personally pick up on. These I am expressing through the work I make. The element of showing it to an audience is most important, because I am ideally trying to create a dialog. That doesn’t mean I am expecting my audience going through the trouble to personally contact me (but if like in your case they do that is very much appreciated!), but I hope to give an impulse to reflect, on what exactly is of course individual to everyone’s own path.
If that can be achieved I reached my goal.
Ultimately I assume I am using my work in this way to find a form of connection to my surrounding, handing on an impression life is making on me, and so being linked into a process of life, where otherwise by taking on the position of an observer I would -only- be an outsider.
Thank you for your kind words and I am very happy you came and this work had something to offer to you!
