This is a collection of erasers. Not any old erasers, but the tools of other artists. At first glance, they look astonishingly, even disappointingly, like those objects that lie carelessly around on our own desk. But wouldn’t each of us immediately recognise our own eraser amongst all these colourless lumps and wornout remnants? In deepest respect for the work of others and in awe of the mystery of artistic creation, these small sculptures have been brought together, like tiny fetishes that are still soaked in the sweat of the creative hand, so that she always has them close by as inspiration, muse, good spirit, intercession, amulet– or whatever she wants to call them. No longer missing. Always there.
