Es ist immer mal wieder interessant, einen Blick hinter die Kulissen zu werfen und zu sehen, mit welchen Materialien Künstler arbeiten. Heute ein kleiner Einblick hinter meine Kulissen und in mein Materialarchiv:
– unzählige alte Fotos, die ich auch während meiner Artist Residency in Savannah GA, USA gesammelt habe, sowie Kabinettkarten aus der Zeit um die Jahrhundertwende
– die Fotos, Viktorianische Fotoalben, Bücher, Zeitschriften, übrig gebliebene Bildreste aus vorangegangenen Projekten …. mein gesamtes Papiermaterial hebe ich in meinen Regalen auf, thematisch sortiert
– immer wieder inspiriert mich die Sammlung der bereits ausgeschnittenen aber nicht verwendeten Bilder
– ein besonders kostbarer Schatz ist ein etwa 100 Jahre altes Buch mit originalen Werbe-Druckgraphiken
– wenig spektakulär anzuschauen aber wichtig ist meine Sammlung alter Bilderrahmen, die ich zum Rahmen meiner Collagen verwende – ein Fundus, den ich jahrelang auf Flohmärkten gesammelt habe, gut verpackt in Luftpolsterfolie
– einige meiner zur Zeit stark beanspruchten „Natur“-Bücher.

english version:
It’s always interesting to take a look behind the scenes and see what materials artists work with. Today a little insight behind my scenes and in my material archive:
– Countless old photos that I also collected during my artist residency in Savannah GA, USA, as well as cabinet cards from around the turn of the century.
– the photos, Victorian photo albums, books, magazines, leftover images from previous projects …. all my paper material I keep on my shelves, sorted thematically
– again and again I am inspired by the collection of already cut out but not used pictures
– a particularly precious treasure is an about 100 years old book with original advertising prints
– less spectacular looking but important is my collection of old picture frames, which I use to frame my collages – a treasure trove I collected for years at flea markets, well packed in bubble wrap
– some of my currently heavily used „nature“ books.
