Original artwork description:

Dialectic of transformation - where do we come from, where are we going?

The human being in relation to nature and technology in the field of tension of becoming is thematically an essential feature of my terracotta sculptures. I am interested in the point where the opposites cancel each other out, but nevertheless combine these polar potentials and thus contain an ambivalent structure. The question of space and time, whether it is organic or technical, human or machine, remains open.

In the artistic process I formed and arched directly out of a whole block of clay. Mass is replaced by space, whereby the spiral-shaped space structure brings dynamic strength and stability with it. In the energetic process of the smoke firing, the terracotta sculpture undergoes a further transformation.

Materials used:

Terracotta, smoke firing
