Seven Sins (documentation of a process)

From March 2022 to March 2023, I intermittedly worked on what came to be the Seven Sins series. Starting from found images and other scraps I tried to develop montage drawings which would evolve to painted 'posters'. The results were rather unsatisfying to my taste but the process ended up being instructive on several levels. From September 2022 on I began to focus on a postdoctoral research of three years to be started in January 2023, so I quickly decided not to stop the creative work on these series but to continue them and to draw conclusions on the process of trial and error. As a way of reflective research, I commented upon the five phases of this project:

1. Seven Sins base material

2. Seven Sins charcoal montages

3. Seven Sins drawings and oil paintings

4. Seven Sins ink drawings

5. Seven Sins ink reductions and co.
