Self – portrait, 2019 (ongoing)

two glass panels 40cm x 40cm x 0,8cm,  linseed oil and natural earth pigment;




A recurring work since 2019. It consists of two glass plates, earth pigments mixed with linseed oil between them, which expand intoa circular shape due to my body weight. When the force on the plates subsides, air flows through the narrow gap and separates the two plates from each other. The result is plant-like shapes resembling dendrites, i.e. tree-like structures. A pseudo-fossil created by my weight.
