Freud Museum, London, Reisemalheurs (Travel Woes), 2007 “O Bear Me Away On Your Snowy Wings, 2006, captures movement’s wonder and turns the melancholy of displacement into the promise of iscovery. With its smaller side canvases flanking the central large one like wings, their stitching pattern evoking feathers, the triptych suggests an imposing white bird. But because this resemblance is schematic, the painting flutters between representation and abstraction. The simplified surface, here cleared of the weight of historical consciousness, proposes a lightening of being - rendered also by the lowercase letters of the image’s schoolgirl-like writing - eager for flight”.
