This work is part of serie that I started a while ago. It all started with a towel that I took randomly because I needed something quickly to be able to clean the floor. From that moment on this towel was used every time I needed to clean my brush, the floor or wherever it had to be used. Since then I kept continuing this serie, but I always try to avoid thinking about it and keep it as spontaneous as possible, in a similar way it all started. What I love about these images is that they are the holder of a certain amount of time in my studio, while working on several pieces. It’s almost like a summary of the works I’m busy with in that moment. It becomes like a micro carrier of my studio.
