TEUN HOCKS, Cosmic Surroundings

“First, I start with almost an idea, or vague ones, making drawings of thoughts I have about all kind of situations that get e dreaming or just are triggering my imagination. After that I build and paint a setting, and check and control everything by making digital photos during building and compare them to my drawing. I create the desire light, take my place and start making Polaroid’s. I make 8 photo’s on 6×9 cm black-and-white film. Looking at the contact-sheet I decide which negative is the one to print. I then make three big black-and-white prints on fiber-based photographic paper, tone them to sepia, glue them on aluminium and start colouring them with transparent oil paint”.
