Dancing with Shadows
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy will follow like a shadow that never leaves.”
Buddha
About the project
The project ‘Dancing with Shadows’ is an ongoing project. It is a series of 106cm x 78cm monotypes. In the project I work with my own photos of physical shadows that I process.
I explore the shadows from different angles and process them to make them sharper, less clear, more or less colourful. Then I enlarge the shadows by painting them with ink on a 90cm x 60cm graphic plate. After that I run them through the printing press.
The project is an exploration of shadows. I have photographed shadows and processed the images into large monotypes. The result is exciting, beautiful and captivating shapes. I use physical shadows to explore the process of reaching inner shadows and discovering their forms, messages and expressions.
And then.. monotype 106cm x 78cm
