So here it is! The last piece for my exhibition, which I finished one day before
hanging the paintings. The inspiration comes from a dream I had of a very psychedelic
building in Vienna with stairs leading out of every hole in the wall and floor. It was crazy!

Someone actually filmed a short documentary about the making of this piece for
a student assignment but I don't have it yet to show you, but hopefully soon.
Then you can all listen to my awful austrian accent :P

I was the only one on this ride in the pretty funpark of Vienna.
Lots of the rides were already closed because of Autumn/Winter break.
Sadly my favourite the glass/mirror labyrinth was closed too.

Thanks to everyone who made it to the opening yesterday!!!!
(The painting on the right is so new I haven't even had time to put it on my website or lj yet...)

My book is finally ready! What started out as a project for myself at the
start of this year has become something I feel proud of to share with others.
50 pages of dreamy illustrations and surreal childhood memories of
mine are ready to be read.

The title "The Eternity beneath the Bathtub" is based on a childhood memory of mine.
Our bathtub was not free standing, and when you knocked against the bottom of it while
being inside it made a hollow sound (because of the small space between the tub wall and
the floor) and I imagined that space to be huge, endless and universe-like and sometimes
I was worried the tub would break loose off the bathroom and fall into that hole with me.
So I was always rather careful not to move around too much.

2008 I did a painting based on that memory as well. You can see if if you click here




I'd like to share a few pages with you here:
