NO MEASURE NO LIMIT

The challenge of drawing lines that represent the realities of quantum electrodynamics occupied me for a lomg time, going through different stages of forms likely to give me a clue. How could I find a way to approach these themes and eventually come to an understanding that does not depend on intellectual capacities, but rather enter through a sort of intuitive ability that has its offspring in the storehouse of experiences and practice? My mathematical faculties are not famous and my ways of logic are rather spontaneous and unrealistic, so I had to seek orientation with the only tool at my disposal: the pencil. Lines may start at any point, but once put into motion, where will they go? Will they continue forever, past the borders of the paper or board, will they leave the room and join the waves of particles that constantly surround and transpierce us? Developing structures go either towards order or towards chaos. There are moments of zero movement where the direction change, where growth stops and decay starts. Patterns fall apart and rebuild.

The intention of my drawings is to visualise the process of forming and dissolving order, the waves of interacting particles exchanging energy so fast that it seems like solid matter to us. The pale-yellow colour opens up the square. What is visible within the area represents one possibility out of millions, and not hard facts from which you can draw solid conclusions. I do not have to defend any scientific theory, nor do I need to explain the meaning of every element. The liberty of interpretation is not violated. I propose an image of events that take place every nanosecond, in and around us. The square is neutral. It does not presuppose any special subject to be treated within its borders. You are not expected to compose in any classical way upon a square, it will always seem like a section of something vaster.

The work is left open for new and further interpretation. I would like the onlooker to see that it is possible to continue the development of forms and lines. I consider these drawings to represent intermediary stages of a never-ending process. I want my drawings and sculptures to be transparent and weightless. There will be no resistance and no gravity in this floating atmosphere. All movement would eventually come to a halt for a split second where time stops and space and order disintegrate. Time and space are concepts of the established order that we need for orientation in this complicated universe and to give it a meaning. We must be able to measure the circumstances under which we are living, else we get lost. Into this environment of numbers and words, we put ourselves and our dear objects, mountains and oceans. The more we measure, the more safe and comfortable we feel. We even want to measure the irrational, like art. How much art does this object contain? We invent rules for everything and define every single bit of this planet and beyond. Unveiling mysteries is a fulltime job for a lot of people. We are craving for absolute constants
