Schmutz Bunnies: Can’t help myself



When I have taken photos of a finished piece in my new series, I wipe off the flowers, scrape off the paint and wash the glass. I love the fact that the piece no longer exists, except as a photograph. But the little piles of paint scraps and flower detritus call to me, and I scrape the leftovers—the schmutz—together and use the paint scraper to turn them into animals and birds and snakes. As you can see, I am easily amused. But I am also easily embarrassed, so I haven’t decided whether to include a couple of them in my show opening at Berlin on November 7.
