Beate GegenwartMaker in Focus

16 September - 26 October 2014

It is the fragmentary nature of a nomadic existence that underlies much of my work, the fragile theoretical armature by which all kinds of personal narratives and pictorial elements are joined together from many sources, written and visual as well as from direct observations. Many drawings are based on architectural space and the specifics of floors, stairs and ceilings, broken apart and re-assembled in the field of the panel or in other pieces, small multiples, which grow out of solids.

Each piece is built layer upon layer of drawn imagery, beginning on paper: drawings of lines, net structures with empty spaces, holes; the lines becoming the space itself, conveying a sense of dynamic movement.
