The
question: 'What is the nature of God?' is intrinsically bound
up with the inquiry into our relationship with reality. While
project Soul Space (2019) had been an investigation into the
human psychological perspective, asking in what ways God could be
manifest as a hidden travel advisor during the service or ceremony
of various religious communities, a second project focusses on the
spatial, geometrical perspective of the nature of God. As with Soul
Space, the results will be shared in discussions, lectures,
exhibitions and an artists’ book, in which the viewer is
invited to contemplate a multilayered portrait of God.
Time and again the inquiry into the nature of God directs us to the
basic human ability of pattern recognition on the basis of similar
differences and different similarities. Firstly perceptual:
‘unguided’ we recognise patterns in the blots on a brick wall or a |

wallpaper
(Leonardo da Vinci already pointed at this ability as a starting
point for all art). Secondly, as an attempt to make human knowledge
measurable through ‘information’. At present, we slowly come to
understand how true knowledge means insight.
Three series of Fine art pictureworks are produced within the scope
of this inquiry into the nature of God. They invite the viewer to
explore and contemplate the notion of spacetime as a dimension, in
which meaning remains something unfinished, but in which
'measurability' is crucial for us. After all, when there is nothing
to hold on to, we have to choose a point of departure from which we
can (re)organise our lives in an attempt to understand who we
'really' are.
Along with these artworks a publication is in the making
encompassing a catalogue and a flash vision poem.
