In the first half of the 1980s, the artist created a number of works, including monumental canvases with relief, thick surfaces. Their expanding, multi-layered structures were made of paper, cardboard, twisted canvases and fabrics, pieces of raw wood studded with pins, wrapped with wire and painted with thick layers of paint. Extremely expressive compositions combined the fleshiness of the matter of tangled fabrics and stiff paint with the almost physically perceptible sharpness of metal pins and wires. Pictures painted, studded and even carved with an ax, bearing traces of physical effort, are an extraordinary testimony to the struggle with matter. Its organic, swollen forms often take vaginal shapes, making a sensual reference to the author’s sexual identity.
