I have just discovered the work of Katrien de Blauwer. I can really identify with her concepts. I love her collages and the fact she has been directly influenced by the theories of Eisenstein and his idea of Montage. Her statement sums up how I feel about my own work.
"Emotions have always been the driving force and main consideration in what I do and make. I am also strongly drawn to the uncomfortable in human emotion, like pain, sorrow, loss, desire. It’s about life and death, what we are, what we signify, how we are loved.
I like the directness of pictures and their presence. With my idiosyncratic, condensed cuts and pastes I try to relate a story of my own. In doing so, I find, often unwittingly, new meanings and associations, which also has a therapeutic effect on me. It’s a process of finding my own language and listening to it."
