In this painting I set out to try two main things; first is layering, something I usually find really hard and thus avoid.
And the second thing is finding my personal language in symbols that resonate for me… I’ve been struggling with this topic for a while, and I’m experimenting with various symbols to see wich ones feel most personal to me. When I make drawings & paintings i look back in the course of time to see where my language in symbols is going. By looking at all I make through these eyes I’m trying to find out which symbols really resonate with me and which ones don’t. So this panting is about that. It includes symbols I’ve used in previous work…these are symbols I feel drawn to right now.

People who inspire me a lot in terms of symbols are Margaret Kilgallen, Betsy Walton, Mati Mcdonough, Amanda Blake… Basqiuat, I could go on here because I draw inspiration from loooots of places..
