Illustrations of Trakl-texts

In two phases (February-May 2004 and January-March 2005)
around 250 drawings based on Trakl's poetry came into existence.
In addition, the artist says:
I depend on the intermediate layers, scenes, what is hidden and suddenly emerging as well as once again becoming unclear.
My stimulation is the graphic-eruption that for me Trakl as poet textually embodied and lived.
Where literature with its fantasy "is at the end", we artists come into play, as partners, not as helpers.
