Micha Zweifel

beeldhouwen - conceptueel - installatie - tekenen

I work with what I find: materials, methods, and motifs—the flotsam
of cultural remnants whose use, identity, or meaning have become
obsolete. Concepts and techniques can be “finds” too. In my work they
sit alongside decoration and carpentry. I make sculptures, often using
materials or fabricated objects of utilitarian origin: plywood, plaster, MDF,
and household things. At other times I evoke, adapt, or apply specific
traditional artistic methods, such as bronze-casting or wood-carving.
