Leaving the Past Behind

Progression: Leaving the Past Behind is another ongoing project. I started it 2024 in preparation to my art show participation with Ponte Cultura e.V. in Nuremberg, Germany. The idea was pretty simple: Old discarded canvases from my business that were stored for a long time and had no other used anymore, were painted over with white gesso and then arranged in an assemblage of canvases.

Malaspina Printmaker Society 2001 and 2024

I am leaving this inspiring place with a heavy heart, but will be still present on the Island at Malaspina Printmakers Society, also on Duranleau Street, where I will go back to one of my old passions, printmaking. This lovely video was shot and created there 2023 by artist friends Berenice Freedome and Frank Lee. Many thanks to them!
