“I have never considered how my work might be interpreted; this would most likely be a pitfall for both the artist and the viewer. So, having now arrived at the present day, the narrative must end here.”
Kurt Kappa Kocherscheidt
Completing a picture is much more difficult than beginning it; in fact, it is impossible. I see the development of a picture as a flow of images, halted almost arbitrarily.
An idea, or even just a thought, is ripped open, compressed and overlaid, splintered and bundled again, readjusted. The moment when a brief loss of control occurs, a little turn is taken that interrupts the paralyzing fixation, in short, when the picture gains independence, finding an opportunity to strike back, is a good moment to stop.
