The sketches are painted on novel pages, using the so called eliminative method: just a few words or letters are left visible. The elimination gives way to a new image.

An image of the Boekentoren (‘Book Tower’), the main library of Ghent University designed by Henry van de Velde. This sketch was part of the preparations for what became the film [meine heimat]. The text reads something like: “that last word / preserved / and classified / on one of the outstretched shelves / in late summer”.
