For the last 20 years I have been concerning myself with art and design.
Inspired by drawing and photography I found the material which is the most beautiful for me. Steel.
So a wide range of designed and hand-forged furniture and accessory were produced in the last years.
It took not long until stone and bronze were quickly added to the materials I use for my sculptures.
Beside the conventional sand- and limestones I discovered bog-iron-stone.
Different from common stones this one has a chemical-biological origin and with its organic structure it is a challenge for me again and again.
People who want to visit me in my atelier can find it on a brick yard in a small village called Kummer, near Ludwigslust in Mecklenburg.
