In collaborations I find the limitation necessary to channel associations. I gain a new perspective on a subject through others and can use it to detect blind spots in my own perception. In a drawing or painting I prefer to look at the remaining space. About what lies in the dark, the margins, the unnameable. I've always had trouble pinpointing a topic that interests me. And I often found a concept too insufficiently concrete to enter into a relationship with the medium of drawing or painting. I love it when ideas turn into matter. The language of the visual arts is exciting because it cannot be precisely described. With that 'vague' interest I then enter a field into which I am invited by others. At the moment, a book with an essay of a series of images with text fragments is the most convenient medium.
