How the image can come technically about, signals and frequencies that have no tangible materiality, that are in the air and while resting on a surface made visible.  We need tools to see very small things, and to observe very large things (that are very far away).  Printing is a way of marking, the printing direction is ike writing and reading. From left to right, from right to left. To start from a point, and go from there.  To decode something in order to make it visible, readable.   How does the immaterial relate to the material?  I want to talk about the works from a technical approach, of which I find its language poetic and are to me directing what the objects can become about. Elegantly they are described, in terms of their function.  Interface: one that makes it possible to see, smell, hear, (sense) it through something else  My work is conveying thoughts about things, how I approach them to be, the ontological status I give them.  Give a work a title, a verb in order to suggest something happening, enduring.  A digital photo can be stretched, scaled, its dimensions are variable.  In the future I want to make things that include elements of time.   Some of my works now are necessarily spatial in the sense one can move around it.  Often I feel no desire to make a series of the same idea into multiple works. But I would like to explore the accompanied possibilities of the elastic square. Bigger, smaller, variables, colours, weight, multiples, two in one, three as one, and so on.   I started with making a grey square which is almost 3 by 3 meter. This size combined with the chosen material makes the object less solid.  It can look like a triangle from one point, and as a rectangle from another, but when its presented flat its a square formed object.   I like the alteration of a form. Through time, in time. How can an object 'endure'? Include time? To fold something takes time. Included elapses.  MRI imagery is very complex. Taking your MRI scan is not pleasant, it takes more time than making a CT scan and you have to lie in a very narrow tube. But it can give better images, more precise and detailed, that is. Fourier analysis can be used in order to ‘represent’ signals. As Fred Sanback articulated, there needs to be a place in which something can be or can come about. These give parameters, possibilities.  The physical approach of the work is important to me. How one encounters the thing, and how it moves with it.  At Witte Rook I searched for the where something takes place or comes about. Both spatial objects have the ambiguity of having different sides presented to the viewer and changing simultaneousely with it. The MRI image in which frequencies and signals are ‘represented’ in the k-space is the image before we can read it because its an image of something.
