Clara Payas

Statement

I take my work as a ritual activity, which exceeds the boundaries of experience in such a way that it integrates in the nature of things and makes a representation of this. The representation can illustrate a system, tell a story or evoke or reveal an event.

Technically I combine drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and – if applicable – photography, video and text. I use drawing as a tool for planning the liturgy and explicating the mechanisms, whereas painting and working in volume are media for merger, transformation and metamorphis.
