Unheimlichkeit

detail from Unheimlichkeit, ‘to not be at home’ (Heidegger). I was not aware of Heidegger’s anti-Semitism when I made this work.

Unheimlich is the fundamental groundlessness of our existence, this profoundly felt sense of not-being-at-home, wherever one would be.’

Journal work, 2000

ink, watercolour and gouache on tissue paper and watercolour paper
