Much like his sculptures, Ziemann’s works on paper combine disparate found and handmade components. He approaches collage as a formal exercise, using color, pattern, texture, gesture, and shape to blend the imaginary with the seemingly banal. His collages function as emblematic utterances, coded in the language of formal abstraction yet laden with personal metaphor. Often created alongside his sculptures and titled using parsed words or phrases, these works offer visual clues to the way Ziemann fuses formal and conceptual thinking, providing a key to the motifs and symbolic references embedded in his broader practice.
