When i came across Ingrid Calame i straight away noticed how similar we are in our interests! She traces old graffiti and stains from the outside and overlaps them, adding different colors and painting the tracings like a puzzle, one section at a time. She is interested in representation of loss and sees the process of tracing as translation, where information is lost in the process. For both of us there is a desire to know the world through tracing!

Recently i have been making a collection of marks and stains that attract my attention, by tracing them or taking picture. For me there is a desire to interact with them, making them worth something, interacting with them in order to make them stand out, usually through repetition. We pass these sort of stains which are on pavements and building everyday yet we don't really look at them, but we know that they are there. I really want to interact with them so next time somebody will notice.
I found this circular table full of paint stains which i want to work on! Feel very excited! So i took a couple of pictures of the table and tried to Photoshop how it may look! Was so much fun! Its like a small tryout!

I am thinking of bringing in color, but i will have to try it out to see how it looks!
