Sibylle Groene uses iron sheet cutoffs and oxidation. The work is created in an almost laboratory-like setting. Sibylle manipulates the canvases, paper and other media through layering, wrapping and folding them around the sheet metal. Then she exposes this arrangement, like a temporary installation, to the elements in order to start the natural process of corrosion. The metal transfers its traces onto the cloth or paper as direct reproduction, facet, mirror image or whole from the original form. The transformation of the material thereby creates its own language apart from the original form. In addition, Sibylle often layers other media such as tar, ink or paint over these oxidations.
