Spur #10 Sculpture

For a long time now I often use old family-photographs as references for my paintings. I then take the depicted persons out of their surroundings and put them in a new context. For this series ("Spuren") I reversed my creative process. I transfer-printed a photography onto a piece of cardboard I normally like to use for paintings. The two people on this picture were my grand-parents. I cut out part of my grandmother to fold it down. It exposes the comb-structure that keeps the cardboard in shape. This work deals more with the absence of people that were once with us.
