Biographically and emotionally I
am close to asian and japanese
culture. Not only through
travels to China, an artist-inresidency
stay in South Korea
and a diploma work on japanese
gardens of meditations but also
through an interest for a specifi c
„asian“ aesthetics.
Inspired by
this I develop my wood scultpture
„and we all will die“.
It explores
universal symbols where all
things are dual: they have an
opposition in themselves.
„Beauty
should be modestly hidden
under the surface of the thing,
so the viewer can discover it
during the watching process“ -
this impression about japanese
housing refl ects in the minimalistic
form of the sculpture.
The
relations between viewer and
object where not only watching is
important but physical conections
between both.
