Liquid Light - Berlin

Liquid Light 2022 - a site-specific Installation at the Sounds of Water Festival - im Kleinen Wasserspeicher, Berlin-PrenzlauerBerg. 

Water dripping steadily into a shallow pool creates ripples that are reflected on suspended drafting film and the surrounding walls, resulting in the projection of a rhythmic, pulsating wave. The pool is 1m x 2m.

Trilogy

Three of five pieces displayed in Berlin on the occasion of a studio event/show 22 - 25 May 2014 with Marion Ehrsam, Sibylle Hoessler and Montagehalle.

Click thumbs - and find more images on face-book.

• 'Thoughts fly' - letters drawn in 2-D are the base for words spelled in mid-air.
• 'Waves' - letters stitched in the base become a 3-D drawing of undulating lines.
• 'Oscillator' - a zigzag line in 2-D is the base for two lines spiralling in 3-D. (Sold)

Altogether these three work as a trilogy: denken - fühlen - wollen | thinking - feeling - willing.

waves

This post has been patiently waiting to be published since mid-May. A pic of a piece that joined me on a trip to Berlin at the end of May. Waves - 150cm x 24cm x 15cm

This was for a small but beautiful event/show in Marion's studio in Berlin. More images coming soon.

Orbit in Berlin/Wedding

Exhibition pics of Orbit at Gallery Wedding in Berlin, 13 - 28 September, a group exhibition as part of the Kulturfestival Wedding - Moabit 2013.

Orbit

Just completed last night. The shell of half a sphere, made of Mohair fibers, 42cm diameter.

Dancing up and down, between ceiling and floor - strung, crocheted and sewn with nylon thread.

And it's full moon today.

PS: Orbit is now part of a private collection.

Working

My 'work bench'. Drilling holes into acrylic glass with a drill thankfully borrowed from neighbours upstairs.

Most things take a little longer than expected... Finding material is a task on its own, but very rewarding. I came across Modulor and was happy to cycle 8km back and forth, twice. Three storeys packed with an enormous range of materials. It was hard to get me out of there.

I'm working on various items simultaneously. Things that I've done before happen in different ways. Using other materials changes the outcome. And, Marion's facilities provoke different procedures.

Sketches

1. co-ordinates

2. static

3. spiraling

Patterns of dots in a circle - with a sphere in mind. The co-ordinates (from H to B, see post 30 April) may have left their traces in these drawings.

4. sunflower seeds

The first sketch 'Co-ordinates' merged into a drawing based on circles which is more static (2.). This turned into a spiraling (3.) version.

The resulting design recalls the pattern found in fir cones and sunflowers (4.).

The aim is again to transform from second into the third dimension...

Walking

Finds during the first few days, all within about 15 minutes walk from my current dwelling:

West:

Having said that there isn't much green near my doorstep I 'found' this piece of landscape not far from my current home:
Ploetzensee, a lake fed by groundwater in the middle of a huge green park, or rather three large parks.


South:

Lady with a hat peers over the trees into a street further south from here.




East:

Galerie Max Hetzler resides high up on the forth floor of the 'Osramhoefe'. A huge space entirely lit by daylight.
Work by Tony Ziegler.

Some more pics here.

From H to B

It looked like an installation, the studio in Hull, before I left for Berlin two days ago; everything packed up to one large central block, ready for doing up the space.

Sunday night I arrived here, in the place that I'll occupy for the next four weeks. It is about 13° further east, a journey of roughly 1000km by air, without counting the detour to the airport.

I'm still settling down. The deal is the welcoming charm of this steadily changing and lively city, Berlin, in exchange for the light and green ambience of Hull.

No garden here. I'm living near the pavement, separated from passer-byes, a children's playground and a residential street (leading to a major traffic artery) only by huge shop windows - plus shutters at night. Yet, all I noticed so far is that I feel comfortable.

I took with me a few things to work on. Not sure, but curious, what I will do, since whatever I'll be making, will happen in a different manner; simply because the two cities, H and B, feature such different climes.
