“There is not so much about imagination as listening. One eye and ear inwards and one eye and ear outwards. I think of my pictures as gates, entrances to this language in between. The space between thoughts. Many of us remember the famous Haiku poem about the flower falling from a branch of a tree, and suddenly rising again upwards. Is it a butterfly? Pulled into the moment between the flower and the butterfly, we suddenly get access to a part of reality we did not know before. I have experienced that when I manage to be in these gates, a new state of mind arises, a new contact, because I also am nature. My pictures are gates, instruments. The real pictures , the images are not the pictures on my canvases, but the images coming into being in the mind of the viewer…”. Gro Folkan
