FIENE SCHARP - fragile fragments
The works presented in this exhibition are all based on various grid structures, without aspiring to be categorized as grids per se. Both static and in motion, formal and metaphoric, they elude all concrete interpretations. Moreover, the nature of the vintage grid paper is inherently symbolic. As a unique element with its own history, it is closely connected to themes such as time and cultural history, identity or organism. What was originally discernable and real has been distorted or nearly completely obliterated by the process of being cut out. And so only the grid or lattice remains as a fragile fragment, implying a tangible fleetingness. In her paper cutouts, the artist augments the strictly geometrical, structurally static, and two-dimensional grid with a dynamic, spatial, tactile, and subtle component.
