Pieces for Flute

What motivates a photographer to photograph recorders? With recorders, isn't it all 'straightforward in terms of the visual form? If you look closely at a recorder, there is quite a bit to experience. The different colors of the wood, the slight variations in shape, the black holes and sometimes the beautiful woodwork of the mouthpiece. When a piece of recorder can suddenly be a pipe, black holes take a walk like dotted lines and small pieces of mitered recorder look like bird houses, there is space for new shapes. But above all, let's not forget that you can also whistle on a recorder. No violent sounds but frivolity at its best. Whistling has something lyrical about it and precisely this, in combination with the apparent rigidity of the straight form, provides a motivation to 'break through' the visual form of the recorder. This figurative 'breakthrough' is the challenge to which the artist must relate. Visual poetry is the result. An image is created, a sculptural image that is photographed. The photography here is the witness of the final end result.
