STATEMENT

​​

Allow art to discover you.

​

Whereas the house informs my abstract sculptures the spirit of the Bauhaus economy, combined with the freedom of play, creates them.

​

Monumentality is integral to all of my work irrespective of actual size. The sculptures invite multiple points of view, like encountering different sculptures in one.

​

The right angle in the physical world with its formal quiet and equilibrium provides a reference point towards which I work the finished pieces with "simplification of the design and refinement of proportions" (Mies van der Rohe).

 

My art - sculptures, paintings, drawings - is free from issues and trends. “No rules”, David Smith.
