| About the Artist |
From figurative work i turned lately to formal work out of paper. Paper is flat but not elastic, it won't stretch. To create a form I fold it. This folding creates tension, structure and surface. The paper between the structural folds crumples like a skin.
In the bronze every bit of the sculpture is justified by the tension of the folded paper that created the volume.
