About this artwork
The variation of a Möbius loop made of Reinhardtsdorfer sandstone. The surface of the sculpture is finely honed and, in contrast to this, the edge is broken and rough, left with the blows from the pointed iron.
Each of my sculptures grows in a long process that can take years before I can no longer change anything that could lead to an improvement. Many influences come together, the material stone, the coincidental or the result of my actions.… At the end there is a sculpture that expresses something that I did not know before and, in the best case, looks as if it has always been there. A work of art that speaks for itself and expresses something that cannot be represented in any other way, it is magical. Words can try to describe it, but it will never be the same.

« My sculptures want to show an invisible world; they may want to evoke associations, but stand for themselves, to be viewed and touched. They belong more to a metaphysical and cosmic world. »
