I have been developing this ‘body related work’ (body-sculptures) for more than 33 years.
In general, most of my work is being created in respond to a substantive… personal event, (birth of child or any other very significant event) and the way I am “passing through it”.
My focuse is on creating the work and emphasizing the mental, physical movement; the human body becomes the ‘motor’, constructing and building the objects around it.
Participant and viewer are brought together: on one hand the centre of the unit, however, on the other hand, also the viewer, watching the ‘things’ happening around. I pay much attention to the overall contact between sculpture/object & human body, holding in mind the space surrounding it all. The sound the ‘work’ makes, the restrictions it imposes are all incorporated into the holistic experience of the sculpture. I value very much a strong personal mode of self-expression and describes the associative nature of my work as allowing the work ‘talk – to scream – preferably to sing’.
