The slowness of my work process is both a rebellion against the speed requirements of my environment as well as a meditative technique. I explore movements, forms and geometric peculiarities of my environment. I am particularly fascinated by waves. As an information carrier of their original impulses, something completely new arises where they meet. Their interferences are therefore an expression of communication for me. My working material is stone, which I like to work by hand. Its expression is original and the meditative character of my way of working corresponds to this originality. I understand the choice of this material not only as a link to one of the oldest cultural techniques of mankind, but also as essential for our existence, because our planet consists of it, the subsoil on which we live. Its fragility becomes visible in my work.
