Artist Statement

Artists Statement

Art from wood is either turned (pretty bowl), roughly hewed (pure artistic laziness) or from selected ugliness regarding to the choice of wood. The flashy the material the less you see the sloppy work of the artist…

My abstract -, as well as the anthropo- and zoomorphic sculptures emerge from the curiosity what other structures evolution could find - or improve - to add another niche in nature. I mostly work without preceding drawings und start to work unintentionally; the „idea“ evolves during the progress - the work is the result of an undetermined process that is condensed to an aim quite late.

title.
„no title“ is so valid how it is boring and often disappointing for the spectator (who besides is peeking to the labels for a helping hint towards the intention of the artist). My pleasure of spinning a yarn or to attract the audience on wrong trails or into traps let me weave titles that sometimes even might fit.

A critic ones said my work has - although it seems a bit crafty“ between all these progressive techniques of contemporary art - yet that special charme und skill that constrains people to touch - and buy - it.
