Jacqueline Santing

According to Jacqueline Santing paper is the ideal material for making a spatial work that is made up of many layers. Originally she was a painter and in the work Branding (Surf) she still paints by letting the light reflect in a conscious manner. In Branding she initially processed all kinds of paper, but gradually she started concentrating on bugra, ingres (pastel paper made from rags) and kozo (paper with a long fibre). These are tough kinds of paper that give permanence to her three-dimensional works. The permanence is enhanced by a series of layers of paper. The limitation in the choice of materials gives her work a larger uniformity, a smaller range of colours and expression and a smaller framework, within which the nuances tell the proper story.

Branding (Surf) / Field 4 (2002).
Materials: various types of paper, new and used; a lot of bugra, ingres (based on rags) and kozo.
