Mindshift

I love working with Bic pens—It’s messy, raw, basic and spontaneous. This drawing/object brings out the cool qualities of the Bic-pen which almost every person on this planet has in their house. I need to do something like this once

This object is dedicated to all the artifacts produced by intelligent human-like lifeforms on this planet dating back for more than 2 Billion Years. Yes 2 Billion Years! Our evolutionary timeline is very “Filtered” and therefore a faulty one. Archeological

When the Politician Speaks (Oil on burlap on plywood, 21.3cm x 68.8cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

When the Politician Speaks new

Genetic Memory of a Violent Death

“Everyone has “Genetic Memory” passed on to them by their ancestors. We can embrace or ignore this fact. This ‘automatic drawing’ depicts one of my frightening genetic memories, a nightmarish vision I frequently have. I have to tell myself: “Don’t
