Text and Research Foundations:
Classic meditation: Brother Klaus von Flue – advice from the depths.
Marie-Louise von Franz: The visions of Niklaus von Flüe.
Journey into Light / Manku I Komang Karte / Manku I Wayan Siarta / Padangbai Bali.
The two major works with their thematic content form part of the strength and source my artistic work.
I regard myself as a sculptor in a very broad sense.
Besides the classic hammer and chisel I work with graphite and coloured pencil, paint-brushes on clay, plaster, fabric and stone.
In addition I develop and include Art Education concepts within my work.
With the ‘new media’ I create images, text and hypertext (HTML) that I publish online and offline.
With these media and materials I strive, within a pure sense perception to create sculptures, reliefs, engravings, texts, drawings and paintings, which should resonate in the disciplines of Free Art, Art in the Built Environment, monument preservation, restoration and tomb design.
