Basic geometric forms, such as cylinders, cuboids, spheres, and prisms as well as shapes derived from basic forms conjoin in a multitude of variations. Rather than being rigidly attached they are movable, mounted or connected to each other in an unstable equilibrium. Such an interplay between geometric forms can also emerge from an object in succession, which must then be designed in such a way as to embody each of the divergent geometric figures.
The works conjure associations to the organic in its different forms and qualities: climbing growth, spiralling and entwining, lush swelling forms. And yet, these pieces display no signs of opulence, but rather are disciplined and reduced to the bare essential. However, an allusion to sensual opulence may emerge in the lush, swelling, spiralling lines or in slender bodies that thicken into buds.
“The sensuality of the form is cooled by the precision of craftmanship …”
