Art is the interpreter of the unspeakable. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

To discover the message of a piece of art you must tune into it. With all your senses: listening, watching, smelling, sensing, feeling. Am I touched by it? Am I moved by it? Can I feel it inside me? These are questions I offer to onlookers. Feeling and sensing are the important, the essential parts of understanding.

To enable further appreciation and understanding, I also talk about the material that I have used and the way that it was created:

All my sculptures combine wood and stone. This (apparent) contrast can be found everywhere in nature, often in very quirky forms and yet always in a bizarre harmony. Both are expressions of LIFE; the stone millions of years old, and the wood a piece of a felled tree. If you can get in touch with this, you can experience what science also knows. Intuitively you can feel it as a vibration, which is more than we are able to understand with our mind alone.

I do all of my work intuitively. That is how I choose the piece of wood that I want to work with, and the stone. The stone is usually added when the work is in full process, when the form or certain themes begin to show themselves. From the very beginning I follow an inner impulse. What area do I feel attracted to? What is the next step? That is all that counts.
