Damage, destruction, cracks, filth, mold. I do not copy perceived reality, but aim to transfer the traits of the model onto the matrix – the printmaking plate. As the transitory nature of reality allows an infinite spectrum of blemishes, so do the damage and erosion of the plate enable the creation of stains in printmaking. By accentuating the procedural nature of the medium, but avoiding the established rules of classical printmaking, special care is dedicated to the innovative potential of mistakes and coincidences. By damaging the plate, a world of stains is created, a projection of our destructive reality.
