Technique & medium: Sculpture, woven aluminum, rock and wood.

What’s the background to this exhibition?
I was inspired by all the little things in life. Things that I wanted to find answers to like lightning and gravity. While these things can be explained scientifically, I wanted to see if I could interpret them tangibly, by means of sculpture.

Why did you choose to work with sculpture?
Sculpture is the most challenging of all artistic disciplines. Through sculpture, I was required to incorporate elements of physics and mathematics to the pieces, so that they stay the way they are. Most important of all, the concept behind Form of the Formless is best portrayed in three dimensions.

Your works remind us of renowned architect Frank O. Gehry, were you inspired by him?
You could say so. I’m not trained in architecture, but sculpture and architecture share a lot of similarities. Most architecture tends to be stiff and structural, however Gehry’s works are very organic and spontaneous. You’ll find those same qualities in my pieces.

What’s your message?
I don’t intend my pieces to stimulate the viewers intellectually. If you come to see this exhibition and have some sort of emotional response to it, whatever that emotion might be, that’s the message.
