Liesbeth (NL, 1968) Paradise - How, a search for the definition of Paradise. In the world within me and around me I have been noticing a typically human activity: to knead life into a shape, with the aim of completeness and freedom. A search, which - besides its successes and rewards - has also seen pitfalls and downfalls. In my Paradises, I explore the boundary between reality and desire and the blurring of this boundary. Together with what is seductive and playful in contrast with loneliness and alienation. During this search, I have been concentrating this contrast into the installations and sculptures that are physically present in space. I am exploring this idea by switching from a two-dimensional perspective to a three-dimensional one and vice versa. In this, my preference goes out to abstraction, to emphasize the unattainable completeness of Paradise. But it is through the compelling addition of realistic elements that I can draw this unattainable completeness into the tangible world. Using a minimal language of form, I search for a surprising new reality. The residue of my search and thoughts about Paradise How are further worked out. I am partial to residue: I want to free myself from white noise and side-paths to become closer to and more aware of the core of unattainable completeness. It is my aspiration to raise this residue above that which is only the awareness of the search. Also, play makes up an important part of my search. To me, play means an activity that is not included in day-to-day life. Besides this, the physical act of transferring existing elements from multiple perspectives and, as such, to eliminate them in order to become closer to their aforementioned core. © Liesbeth Touw 2011
