Quote from Bad Ragartz

Until November, 4 the 7th Swiss Triennial of Sculpture takes place in Bad Ragaz and Vaduz, with 400 works of art in the open air. There are also 9 sculpture network members. We asked them about their thoughts on their works.

What exactly is the role of the materials you use?

Cortensteel has a very nice organic surface that emphasises the organic forms I use. And after many years of experience I can form the steel into any form I want to. 

How would you describe your work in just one word?

Making an industrial material like steel look organic. The word could be organic steel.
