SCULPTURE IS MATTER'S BREATH OF LIFE

I use my motto “sculpture is matter's breath of life” to honour murdered journalists. Their death is often preceded by years of threats, pestering and other attempts to shut them up. Recently, I started my campaign “Sculptor for Journalists”. Up to now I am, as far as I know, a lone wolf in this, yet I hope to create a pack of sculptors in support of journalists.

In general my artwork is my way of sniffing at life; at how experience draws its trail on a face, or how
challenges imprint determination or despair in a facial expression.

Stuck. People can get stuck in their fate, whether it be locked-in in Alzheimer or a politician gaining new insight that he has been wrong all the way. For others, life threats can challenge them to betray their principles (which they won’t), whether they be a journalist in the 21st century, or Thomas More in the 16th.
