Born 1958 in Paderborn
I am fascinated by structures which form the basis of things and in the
hidden networks of these structures.
In addition to creating the inner structures of a piece, I am also
interested in its sculptural and spatial quality.
Through the arrangement of thin gold sheets, environments of open spaces
are being formed, whereby the inner and outer aspects are simultaneously
visible.
