During the painting process, Ina Gerken experiences what seem like plans or recipes for how a painting will emerge. As it ultimately turns out, whatever control she thinks she has is only an illusion. In the end, the paintings are autonomous and follow their own logic, if they are allowed to. That logic –made up entirely of elements based on feelings –reminds her of her true inner self. This is often hidden behind a mask wrought out of our assumptions about a world that we have inherited, learned, and constructed. This deeper self always knows better, and is somewhat similar to the forces at play behind the paintings, she says.
