Different states of a process

​​

I often work across multiple projects with overlapping themes, which stem from the use of various media such as drawing, painting, photography, and film. These media serve as tools to travel from one space to another — be it a place, memory, image, or object. Each medium or approach requires a specific method, inherent to its nature, and offers different perspectives on my subject, both literally and figuratively.


These different approaches can be compared to the way one might approach a lake:

 

you can observe it from the shore,

view your reflection from above,

experience it by going in,

or intervene by throwing a stone.

 

Each action reveals a different aspect of the lake (contemplation, reflection, experience, manipulation), just as each method uncovers various facets of the themes I work with.


My work often emerges on location — in public spaces, remote cottages, urban environments, the countryside, or during my travels — and I then further develop these images in my studio. I see my creative process as a visual diary, engaging in a dialogue with my surroundings. During this process, I intuitively connect different places and experiences, causing memories, situations, and locations to become intertwined in the visual process, which I then rediscover and transform into new, personal images and memories.​

I am currently a guest artist at residency Gastatelier De Vindplaats from September to December 2025:

​

''David Wasch (1987) is a visual artist based in Amsterdam. In his work, he explores painting, photography, text, and video as ways to investigate how something that almost disappears—a shadow, a memory, an echo—can still remain tangibly present. His work revolves around moments that are fleeting or seem to take place just beyond sight, leaving behind something that is not yet fully understood.

​

During his residency at De Vindplaats, David is exploring together with the children what home can mean. For some, it is a place or a room; for others, a language, a memory, or a feeling. Through the children’s stories and images, the project grows as a living whole: it shifts, transforms, and continually takes on new forms.''
