Pictures from Nina’s studio in Köln as she prepares for a major exhibition at the Bayer exhibition space.
Aluminum protected by an adhesive layer she strips off in the end. Oil, pigment (a whole kilogram followed by another kilo), fiberglass bought at the “Bauhaus” / “Home Depot” to fill craters, orbital sander, scalpel to cut the multiple layers of pigment and paint — all very much in the spirit of the other “Bauhaus” in Weimar and Dessau that championed industrial craft(wo)manship.
The yellow work on the wall will hang with the eventually white one she is working on on the table.

About Scott Abbott
Ph.D. in German Literature from Princeton University, 1979. Then I taught at Vanderbilt University, BYU, and Utah Valley State College. At Utah Valley University, I'm Director of the Program in Integrated Studies and former Chair of the Department of Humanities and Philosophy. My publications include a book on Freemasonry and the German Novel, two co-authored books with Zarko Radakovic (published in Serbo-Croatian in Belgrade), and translations of a book by Austrian author Peter Handke and of a catalogue of an exhibit called "The German Army and Genocide." More famously, my children are in the process of creating good lives for themselves: as a model and manager, as a teacher of Chinese language, as a watershed scientist and science writer, as a jazz musician, as a corrections officer, as university students, and as parents. I share my life with UVU historian Lyn Bennett and our yellow dog Blue. Some publications at http://works.bepress.com/scott_abbott/
Ha, yes, of course, how did i forget, how could i have made such a dangerous mistake….a mask is essential when you re dealing with chemikals that can take your brainbreath away. I didnt figure this out until it was toooo late…i too was doing a series of works (IN TONGUES) that required heavy use of … cant remember….lacquer thinners…wrecked my lungs for several years. I can see here that Ms. Pops knows better…and her work shows it.
