Dear Mr. Schwitters (2017 - 2018)


In this series I make a connection with the deceased Dada artist Kurt Schwitters.  In the exhibition at Caroline O'breen gallery (2018)  it was accompanied by a special edition with four letters I wrote to Kurt Schwitters. They discuss the importance of physical action in art, gravity and tilting images, the personal source and how as an artist to relate to the violent world.
The series is inspired by Kurt Schwitters collages, delicate compositions made with found materials, and by his Merzbau.
