In my artistic work, the essence and soul of man is at the centre, his struggle for a vision, his utopias and abysses, his confrontation with the self and the encounter with the other. It arises both from spontaneously emerging inner images as well as from ideas about the psychic and intuitive functions of man and about his archaic experiences.
It also feeds on a state of mind and emotions, in which consciousness walks on the small degree between the conscious and the subconscious, revealing something like an inner myth that leaves its mark in the form of artistic work. This process takes place in the hope that these traces, which have become visible in this way, will also touch or even infect the other, ideally a form of infection that allows the viewer to immerse himself in his own inner myth.
On the one hand, I associate the "inner myth" with a line of development that underlies every life, but which is largely unconscious. On the other hand, I associate the it with a so-called "legend" in which experienced and fantasized memories permeate each other, created by conscious experience and the unconscious processes triggered by it, which shape and change the memory of what has been experienced.
I associate the inversion of images I use with unconscious processes, the superimposition of images with different levels of perception and consciousness, usually a formative and a structuring one, which penetrate each other, merge with each other, contrast each other or give rise to a new form-structure or structure-form.
"What if seas could sink into seas?"
The photography is part of my series "Sunken Seas". The series is a work in progress and comprizes 224 images up to now and can be seen in my Online-Gallery: https://www.artpal.com/katrinloy/
The sea as a central metaphor encompasses a pool of possible associations, fantasies and interpretations such as "the unconscious", "the hidden", "the mysterious", "the incomprehensible", "the origin", "the primordial ground", "the vessel", "the container", "the immersion in oneself and in the world" and others the viewer might associate with them.
