about<br />

Glass, while pivotal in my work, is merely the vessel through<br />

which my art is created. By reflecting and refracting light,<br />

my glass shapes create something new and unique. Patterns<br />

never stay the same. They emerge by coincidence and they<br />

are constantly changing depending on where the light falls and<br />

where the observer stands.<br />

When I see highrise buildings on the street,<br />

I imagine my glass works hanging in a beautiful sunny spot. I’ve<br />

always wanted to create glass art works making harmony with<br />

architectures, during the whole day showing different faces<br />

according to the movement of the sun.<br />

cubes and stripes


In the series cubes and stripes my aim is to unify glass and light.<br />

Depending on the way the light falls on the glass shapes and<br />

the position of the observer, the shapes and colours of the<br />

reflections change and a circus of colour intertwines with the<br />

textures of the wall behind.<br />

In der Serie Cubes and Stripes ist es mein Ziel, Glas und<br />

Licht zu vereinen. Abhängig von der <strong>Art</strong> und Weise, wie<br />

das Licht auf die Glasformen fällt und der Position des<br />

Beobachters, ändern sich die Formen und Farben<br />

der Reflexionen und ein Farbenzirkus verflechtet sich<br />

mit den Texturen der dahinterliegenden Wand. 8 9

broken glass


Combining the themes of antagonism, peace and harmony<br />

is the driving force behind my series Broken Glass. On initial<br />

observation, the words appear soft and loving. But closer<br />

viewing reveals antagonistic associations with words formed<br />

of jagged glass shards.<br />

Die Kombination der Themen des Antagonismus, Frieden und<br />

Harmonie ist die treibende Kraft hinter meiner Serie Broken<br />

Glass. Bei erster Beobachtung erscheinen die Worte weich und<br />

liebevoll. Aber eine nähere Betrachtung zeigt antagonistische<br />

Assoziationen mit Worten aus gezackten Glasscherben. 38 39 Ut ma conecusaped molorestrum accum alit et lamus

void in solid


The fascinating concept of empty space is the source of my<br />

inspiration for the series Void in Solid. Can empty space be<br />

defined only when separated off by a physical barrier? The<br />

use of glass in these hollow forms twisting their way through<br />

intricately cut layers enables the observer to see both<br />

concepts: at first glance shapes within the sculptures appear<br />

solid, on further reflection the observer realises the shapes<br />

are simply empty space.<br />

Das faszinierende Konzept des leeren Raumes ist die Quelle<br />

für meine Inspiration zu der Serie Void in Solid. Kann der leere<br />

Raum nur dann definiert werden, wenn er durch eine physische<br />

Barriere getrennt wird? Die Verwendung von Glas in hohlen<br />

Formen, die sich durch aufwendig geschnittene Schichten<br />

verdrehen, ermöglicht es dem Betrachter, beide Konzepte<br />

zu sehen: Auf den ersten Blick sind die Formen innerhalb<br />

der Skulpturen zu erkennen, auf den zweiten Blick sieht der<br />

Beobachter, dass die Formen lediglich leere Räume sind. 56 57
