Waves of change and light Painting

Sabine is a visual artist who lives close to Manchester, United Kingdom. She grew up in the Black Forest in Southern Germany and studied Fashion & Design in Pforzheim, Paris and New York. After years of work in Illustation, as a Fashion free-lancer and in teaching, she is now only producing her own artwork. "I am fascinated how our worlds and our experiences can be documented with images and how images can create new worlds in their own right. How can life's manifestations - feelings, knowledge, memories, discoveries in science, change in nature and mind - be captured through visual patterns, textures, traces? " Sabine's largest, ever-lasting inspiration is the overly complex weave of life as leaves its own traces and textures on the Earth's surface, like patterns of hoof-prints in the snow, geological sediments in the ground, drying marks of rain drops on a glass plane, and as it exists in our mind's eye, as images seen and remembered and knowledge stored. "When I am making a two-dimensional picture", if feels like using a canvas as a net to "go fishing" in the "big weave of life", capturing some small fragment of the larger context. " That is why Sabine creates mulit-layered pictures. Some of her work has a painting with acrylic on canvas in the background and a drawing with lines and thread suspended in front of it. The final image will only come together in the viewers eye. Or, she paints on semi-transparent screens that are again hung at a short distance in front of a canvas. Some of her pictures have an additional layer of steel suspended at the front.
