The starting point for [the series] was the question of the environmental compatibility of so-called painting water. After all, this solution, which is produced when painting utensils are washed out, contains liquid plastic through the color binder acrylic, but is usually simply fed into the household water cycle. The artist found that there was no knowledge or awareness of alternative disposal. So she decided on a third way, which allows useless things to become productive: she binds the painting water with plaster and pours it into empty sausage and cheese packaging. After each working day, a new tile is thus created, which also refers to many hours of work in the studio. –Romina Dümler
