About my work

Since 1973 my work developed from surrealistic reliefs and sculptures into abstract reliefs and sculptures.

My work is seldom based on scetches. I collect  left over bits and pieces and arrange them into new work.

My main materials are: steel pipes, steel plates and paint.    Themes like: disturbed balance, rhythm, leaning/supporting often return in my work. In my recent work colour is a new element.

Publications:

1989 The stick, the steel and the stone'  (poems)                 

1992 'Traces'  (poems)           

1998 'My Laws" (11 poems to accompany 10 reliefs)
