Ruth Schleeh
I work abstractly, mostly in large formats.
I experiment, discard again, redesign or new.
I experiment, discard again, redesign or new.
Therefore, my works are sometimes very different, sometimes outlandish.
I can't say why my hand reaches for a certain color, why I now take a chalk or a wax crayon. It's little things and nuances that are my inspiration and probably take place more in the subconscious than rational decisions, but that's probably what art is.
Materials can also develop a dynamic that I can't control. Then I have to let myself get involved, not hold on to anything that I might have laid out in my head as a plan. Not the head works, but the picture and my hands tell me what to do.

When a work begins to grow, sometimes there is a moment in the creative process when I can suddenly read my soul on the image.
