About this artwork
With this light sculpture, the artist has again drawn on the principle of the infinite loop developed by the mathematician Moebius. This time it is poplar wood, which is particularly light and bright. Even with this rather small object, the shape is created by hand, initially with a carving tool and mallet, later with a rasp, file and sandpaper. Even if it is a strict geometric template, an individually shaped piece is created in which form and material…
form a unit. The wood is waxed and the sculpture is mounted on a stone block. This is not just a base, but rather creates a contrast to the light wood shape with its weight.
