A Knife and a honeypot
don't go along so far
the sword put on hold
finds the nail too bold
the yellow dot
Pardon my french
goes to an orgy
in red my friend!
over, overwhelm my land
Oh ho! Hold your breath
all your freedom gained by theft! Sir Mortimer: "The cherry please And one of you!"
The lemon blushes
the sugar crushes
and when the whiskey rushes
a dog eats diamonds with a spoon, the fool! The holy grail went insane, not to blame
The queens knife rolls in surprise
the jelly bean's fainting
regardless of the painting
and all that cuty pies
tied up in colored lies
foggy fight today on the front line. William Knaack und Martin Sommer "Ritter und Klopse" Warte für KunstFrankfurter Str. 5434121 Kassel13.07 - 23.07.12

Tetrapak, Berlin, 2011

Small things, objects, everydays things which follow you through the day, although you don't notice them. Often there have a very simple architecture or design. Practical, useful. But to invent them somebody put a lot of effort into them, a lot of thinking. I used a Tetrapak as a model. I paint Tetrapaks, cause there have simple forms, but offer me a platform to perform the idea of painting. Though I can explore and face problems of Painting within the Idea of a Tetrapak. A Tetrapak is box for milk, juice and other fluids you find in every supermarket. Sometimes the inside is covered with aluminium which gives it a shiny silver surface. Though the Idea behind a Tetra Pak is to offer a simple, practical, cheap and safe solution to transport fluids to the consument. Thats my subject in the moment. It is nothing big or extraordinary special, whatsoever but interesting to me and i find a sort of beauty in it. Before I used a Tetra Pak as part of material for assemblages and collages, cause i wanted to transform it into something else, as a part of an image, a dot of color, a space between another line. I want to give it another role in life, maybe another kind of value.
