'Atlas of open blinds’ (2024) is a series of collaged drawings on paper. Combining images from the artist’s point and shoot camera, with watercolor and ink drawings - the works construct a cryptic geography, connecting body and landscape, imagined and urban. The immediacy and physical lucidity of water-based materials, combined with images of exterior worlds (mostly shot in close surroundings of current or past studio spaces) evoke a sense of transparency – of material and of making. These function as a prequel to larger paintings; they contain diagrams, suggestions, clues, questions, spontaneous conjurings and ways of looking. Construction, decay, formation and collapse become verbs of a poetic interchangeability; the image arrived at is a tentative map of the world charting a choreography for searching.
