The picture is the painting. The painting is the picture. The image is color and color material. The color and the color material are the sole testimony of the image.

The color does not occur for a shape, is not flesh, not water, not light. It is not a symbol of anything outside of itself. It is not translation and thus remains untranslatable. It is not illusion, not conjuring work. It is not surface that hides or creates another truth. She is her own fleeting truth.

The color is free. She is dismissed from serving as a whistleblower. Green does not indicate hope, red not on love, blue and yellow not on Mephistopheles or fist.

The color is exempt from having to explain. Your viewer to be free to search for explanations outside the color. For the answer to the question: What do you mean?, falls short and always the same: me!

The color is not free. Does not, however, exempt from anything else. She means herself. It means itself, depending on its place, its counterparts, its beholder. These are many meanings and conditions:

From image to image from color to color.

The individual pictures are taken from the storage crates, like letters to the setting box, and assembled into a common structure. This in itself carries its decomposition back into individual images, which in turn can be re-joined.

The formation of such structures is painting with painting.

By the distances between the images, the interruptions in the structure, it becomes clear that the separate belong together and the related can be separated.

Each image is therefore able to influence any other image, thus redefining its influence on any other image; And can be re-defined by any other image.

The interruptions in the structure become the place of image creation.

From picture to picture the colors come into contact with colors.
The meaning of the color is its effect. This always changes by keeping the same:

The color is.
