sculpture - collage - installation
Move your left leg as far to the left as possible, your straight leg as far to the right as possible, or even better, but harder, your left leg as far to the right as possible and your straight to the left. I like challenges, constantly reinventing the wheel, surprising myself and the audience. And I prefer to balance like an aerial acrobat on the dividing line between two opposites. Between flat and spatial, between abstract and figurative and between serious and naive, to name just three examples. Within the diversity of materials, techniques, subjects of imagination and the mode of imagination, there is one area of research that interests me most: the interaction between painting and sculpture. How do I visualize something both two- and three-dimensional? What role do colors play in this and what does the light do? Despite my analytical approach, I am looking for light-hearted work that can bring a smile.
