During one of my journeys through the French Alps, I was deeply moved by the entrancing silence, the emptiness of the terrain. It was an overwhelming experience. Drawing in my studio, I try to evoke the silence or emptiness I have encountered. My photographs are the key to this experience. As I work, I filter the photographic images. I use my memory, unclothe the image – sometimes to the extent that it has almost vanished and only a shadow remains. I search for the limits of what can be left out. Almost meditatively, in an endless number of lines, dots and minimal marks, I work my way back to my memories. Silence and inaccessibility thus become the subject.
