Erwin Keustermans1960, Geluwe, Belgium
Works and lives in Semmerzake, Belgium.
The way we think can be shown in forms. I deal with accumulation, juxtaposition or making relations between a few of the many possible forms.
These forms are like stones or branches that you happen to find and keep. Forms that have a shape which is always in a certain way unique, member of a class of forms and at the same time member of many classes so it is not clear what the form exactly exemplifies.
That is my art. It is not science because I don't seek to weed out contradictions and it is not philosophy because it adds not to understanding, only to experience
