Putzmalerei
The parallel between the gestures in my work, that as a trained cleaning staff and that of an artist, is an important part of my practice. It erases the split roles in the society, as well as the division between art and life. The gestures practiced while cleaning are the same as the movements we find in action painting. When allowing oneself to do so, working with the cleaning/painting surface and choosing a rag or a mop becomes the same as choosing a paintbrush and canvas.
