Ruudt Peters: ANIMA

Artist list

Ruudt Peters

For a considerable time now I have been exploring the feminine subconscious in the male (the ANIMA)
as a guiding principle for my design. Over the past year I have been drawing blind, in order to achieve
more freedom in my thinking. These drawings give expression to an unknown terrain in my visual language.
I can not direct them. My principle in them is, the less you control the design, the more freedom and room
in the ultimate product. As a continuation of this technique, I have also been drawing with wax underwater.
This action generates an unfamiliar language. It is movement that solidifies what arises from the unconscious. A fluid line is caught in coagulated form. This process produces a totally different sort of design with regard to freedom, thought and expression. The works are gracile, delicate and fragile.
