ERROR IN TRUTH Series It was in 2016 when my world changed drastically. At the beginning, I didn’t even notice. I became anxious, nervous, scared and a major hypochondriac. I barely ventured outside and being alone scared me. It took me several months to start to get back on my feet, but I was far from being back to my self – if there was such a thing. I needed an outlet, so I started to work in my studio on a personal project. This project. After some not so successful days in the studio, I remembered that as a late teenager I saw this program on the television where they explained the process of making charcoal. You take some wood, stick it in a container that is mostly airtight keeping the oxygen out, you then heath the container with a fire. If you do this process delicately enough you can keep the form of the material mostly intact. Even flowers. A lot of them didn’t even make it out of the fire or back to my studio. Sometimes they cracked and crumbled right in front of the camera. Burning took a long time, time with a learning curve. When is the fire too hot or too cold, what type of container do you use, how long do you put them in the fire, how long do you need to cool them before opening the container so the sudden rush of oxygen coming in doesn’t start a fire and disintegrate them. The whole process became like a mantra of, burning, collecting, photographing, contemplation and repeating. As the project developed, and all the images I had taken were beginning to express themselves as fragments of my unconscious. I discovered that it was my preconceived ideas and expectations that were the real obstruction in my life. I began to see my life as a story, a journey to express who I was. It was not just about learning, but rather about letting go of the things I thought I knew. I was starting to address the anxiety caused by old pain, by fear and even by what I thought happiness was; it was a process of throwing off the old layers of myself to reveal something much truer. Every time I came up against an obstacle, there was also beauty to be found within. The story held in these images illustrates the overcoming of fear and the turning towards love. Towards the beauty in things that are not beautiful. This particular image is the first image taken within the series and the start of the journey. It is a charred white tulip that received no special treatment or editing after the charring/burning process. The print is made on a high-end inkjet printer on archival paper from Canson. The print is hand checked by the artist and signed of with a certificate with a hologram that is unique to your artwork and signed by the artist. The whole series is captured in the book Error in Truh by Martin Sweers and is also available on his website www.studiosweers.com
