gone gone gone here is a little, hand-bound booklet in limited edition which came to being in 2020, while I was in ‘double-isolaton’ (Covid + mat-leave).

Over the course of about a month I drew one bodymap per day along with a self-assuring mantra or repetitive thoughts that saved me through that particular day.

Self-inflicted restrictions were, to do this every day, without exception (create one little drawing and one written page), and do it without the use of electronic devices, like printing or strict page layouts (in contrast to the precise design work I did/do as a graphic designer).

The result were two slowly but steadily growing stacks of mantras (thoughts) and visual snapshots of my physical state (body), that kept me grounded through these weeks of extreme isolation and overwhelming feelings of my new mother identity. It was my daily proof that I still exist in body and mind.

The best-of pages were later copied (page per page, not scanned and printed) and hand-bound, to stay as close as possible to my original scheme.

Format: ca. 14x22cm, paper, cardboard, linen-thread

originals also exist as single pages:
ca. 11x13.5cm (ink on paper)
