Rooks in the field
Rooks in the field after mowing my meadow are the direct inspiration for a series of paintings and sketches of rooks and kitchen scissors. Rooks are expressive birds; their distinctive posture and the subtle blue sheen on their wings inspire a delicate play of colour. The sketches of the rooks gradually evolve into paintings and are ultimately placed within abstract compositions of coloured stripes. With its distinctive shape, the kitchen scissors suddenly seem to resemble a rook and also become a tool for painting. What is close at hand becomes the starting point.
