Fiene Scharp

The grid principle is Fiene Scharp's artistic means. The fineness - the condition of her works. She transfers the two-dimensional drawings of grid papers of all kinds into the spatial by microscopic cutting out. With the almost complete removal of the white spaces, filigree net-like structures are created. These works are permeated by a tension that is quiet and only gradually perceptible: on the one hand, there is the ever-same structure of an industrially produced sheet; on the other, the repetition is disrupted by the minimal variance and tiny breaks in the cuts made by hand. However, these inevitable breaks, staggered curvatures and folds are not flaws, but delicate traces of the individual character of each sheet, which only want to be discovered when looking closely. The project for the "papier & klang" festival is still in the making, more information will follow.
