A Glitch in the Mind is a series of three tapestries, Lake, Hill, Moss, that emerged from the monumental tapestry Epic of the Mind.
During the intensive development process of this tapestry, one piece
of 38,5 meter long and 3 meter high, the realization of a considerable amount of test strokes has been necessary.
Beyond their functionality as try outs, the test strokes made me very enthusiastic for their visual quality, at the same time disruptive and stimulating for the mind. In the middle of the production process I decided to change my composition of Epic of Mind in order to let test strokes become part of it.
After the completion of Epic of the Mind, the compression of vertical fragments of images, colliding into one another, imposed further to me as a subject on itself which I wanted to explore and address further.
What fascinates me in theses ‘glitches’ is how the disruption of the image creates a powerful tool to stimulate the mind to associate,
fantasies and somehow relax into a form of abstraction. A Glitch in the Mind series is an open invitation for the spectator to create, reconstruct the world in between its fragments, a language connected to the unconsciousness.
A Glich in the Mind series of tapestries, Lake, Hill, Moss corresponds to three distinct parts of the Epic of the Mind tapestry. Each of it carrying a different mood and energy.
