statement:
The paintings are influenced by documentary photography found in museum/auction catalogues and archeological sites. The surfaces carry the record of the many stages the paintings go through and follow a tradition of burying and applying elements in order to activate their potential. The image exists somewhere between the excavated surface and the added elements. This is an attempt to deal with the intangible through physical and ordered means.

I like the idea of the lost or misinterpreted cultural record.
