Re-Trace nowadays

'Re-tracing' (meaning re-observing and re-considering) the photoworks I made during, before or even long before my (at the time) paintings and (nowadays) drawings turned out to be intrinsic part of the process of creating new works.

A longing for (more-or-less) regularly posting these kinds of pictures as well as (new!) my 'ready-made drawings' made me open an instagram account too, so you can also follow me there.

About Re-Trace

Re-Trace is about visually re-considering the pictures intuitively shot during the great travels and treks I made in my life and which were meant to discover and explore the way I am perceiving and wondering about the visual world around.

To find out if these observations and views are (still or again but otherwise) interesting for me, if and why they're of any importance for current artwork, I will start in the present and look forward to going back slowly to previous years. In between there will be new travels, so I will also deal with new photos.

This blog shows my choices and series as work in progress : images may be added, reordered or removed, the process guided by visual intuition and by looking, looking and looking again.

All pictures were 'found' images (i.e. not searched for them... no 'concept' at all) and were made with a simple compact camera and nowadays an iPhone. This turned out to be essential, to keep my observations pure and straight.
