                      _As I work on my collages, my thoughts return to my childhood. 
                      There are white and square piece of paper on the table, the charcoal is in my hand. 
                      But I cannot recall the delicious odors and sounds wafting from the kitchen, my mother’s domain. 
                      Like all these things my mother is gone, too.
                      I am drawing diligently, paying attention to details. 
                      In the next moment the charcoal in my hand is substitute by scissors.
                      I cruelly mangle freshly created, turning sharply defined lines into lace. 
                      Again a snowy piece of paper is on the table.  The glue is replacing the scissors. 
                      Arbitrary and intuitively I join isolated fragments (loose parts) of slashed drawing into something new.
                      This action is similar to the action of our memory – from fragments we are trying to reconstruct the past....
