Monika Taffet: Art text by Rüdiger Otto von Brocken, Rendsburg

Let’s take it a step further, to Monika Taffet. No land in sight. Instead, a surf of impasto fragments of color tirelessly rolls against the shore. Everything flows – like in a moving still image – toward life. We dive in, not into the waves, but through them, toward the unknown shores of an independent visual world. If the journey goes well, our own image emerges in the end. If not, the comforting certainty remains (and that really is one): that no matter how far we gaze outward, the sea will still not look back. But it’s worth a try. Again and again...
