Catalogue Note
“I’m trying to recreate the imaginative visions of the architecture before the architect built the building, so I can trace back the original vision from the finished product. All the details and all the mistakes disappear; there’s lots of shadows, melting. If the building is successfully done, then it will remain strong even out of focus. Again, it’s a minimalist approach, taking away all the details but being left with a very strong vision.”
