My preferred material for my sculptures is wood, whose natural quality, color and texture I use for my artistic expression. With my planned purist way of working I work the sculptures with the chain saw to form groups, stacks and arrangements of cubes and cuboids. My sculptures are geometric constructions of horizontal and vertical orders, repetitions and series based on a structured thought process. The sculptures are always made of a whole trunk. |
