Ornament as Accentuation

The works shown here follow the classical definition of ornament. This serves to accentuate or enliven the supporting surfaces of an object.

The range extends from a stimulating pattern covering the entire surface and closely connected with it to a single character lying on the surface.

Embodied Signs

Deviating from the classical ornament, these works dispense of a supporting surface. The embodied signs can be joined together to form ever new ornamental forms. Carried, they also fulfil the task of the ornament, namely, to accentuate and decorate.
