Sculpture is an opposition, a body, a tension. Sculpture suggests no ideal
angle of observation for the viewer. Sculpture is movement. Engaged leg / free leg, the counterpose and what lies in between.
Sculpture is spatial, even if intangible and it exists through the relation, we as observers are able to establish. The field
of sculpture is potentially most open and broad. Sculpture is material and reflects material in combination with other possible
materials and space itself. Space is order and context. Space is location. Sculpture connects with its environment, with the
present and with society. Sculpture is presence and provokes immediate perception and experience. The consequences of these
processes constantly demand to be questioned and debated anew.
Sculpture wants to be generated by us. It needs
us, our time, our imagination as well as our doubt in the use of the existent materials. Sculpture burns and space extinguishes.
