Erik Kessels

He is a dutch artist that among other things collects found images and put´s them toghether in new ways, in that way he is giving them new purpuse. Its intressting how images can be seen in a new way if uou just take it out of its context. Today we are feed everyday with images everywhere, without really stop and look what the really show, I a documentary about Kessels and it was really intresting, it made me think about and reflect over how i see images my self.
you can find his books here i would like my self to have the box of "almost in every picture"- vol 1-5

Application patterns

As i was cleaning my studio today (again) i found these " patterns" that i made on the application day for school more than a year ago, The task was to paint a fruit according to diffrent tasks and to make a small collection patterns. At the time i had never in my life done a pattern and didn´t know how to do, but i kind of like how it came out. my fruit of choice was a Dragonfruit, a pink (suprice!) ang green fruit with white flesh inside and small black seeds. its not a good tasting fruit but it sure is satisfying for the eye.

So tomorrow its schoolstart and a new year filled with hard work and ups and downs, second year and i wonder how the first class students fel toningt, maybe a little nervous, i know i was a year ago. But we will do our best to make them feel welcome =) and its gonna be alot of fun seeing the classmates again!
