Metamorphosis

My work concept describes a metamorphosis also in an evolutionary principle. The emerging sculptures can be seen as manifestation of the current, or as a flashlight which captures a moment of motion and so creates an individual.

Metamorphosis has it's seeds in a reduced form. In each work this basic form appears in many ways and so forms structures, which allow inner comparative values. In the external formation my works meet further creative influences, which meld with the internal formation and design alike structured individuals differently.

I indemnify the spectator from which criteria (internal or external) he may want to follow when trying to establish relationship or order among the apparently equally designed works. He will find out, again and again, that also other relationships could be possible.

Each individual has received a title in form of a combination of numbers, whose myth shall be kept a secret.

In my installations, individuals meet and enter a dialogue - the sculptures among each others, or with the audience. Positions and their perception are of importance in order to allow the participants to view each other from different angles. This leads to a differentiated perspective between obsubject.

My basic form empathises with a jet of water - the transfiguration of a movement - a flowing in countless motions everywhere life occurs.
