My bowls focus on the tension between shaping and the natural form of wood.

That is my starting point. Trunks, branches and blocks are turned into objects and reveral their inner structures.  The emerging colours, forms and textures show wood in a variety and variation which astounds the viewer and provides new insights. It is the flaws which create unique pieces in the best tradition of design.

My palpable examination with forms started in the 1990ies. But iI have been using timber as a working material much longer. 
To recognize shapes and to dig them out became the goal. The outer shape is determined by the inner structures. Or do we have inconsistencies?

Does viewing wood pieces in their natural forms, shapes, shades, colours and faults remind us of the times when man still lived in the woods?
Does ”art” have a ”biological” value?

I’m trying to find answers to such questions.

There are no limits to the variety and form of wood. It just needs light and water to grow.

But let me stop explaining! Take your own impressions and emotions as measure of things. You’ll comprehend the message with my objects without further explanations.
