GAZE, 2016 Handmade felt from sheep fleece, horse bridle Size: Lenght closed=24cm, fully streched =26cm, 2x half-spheres (13x13x7 cm) Weight: netto 0.45 kg /Shipping weight 0,55kg because it's very light and non-fragile it will be actually send in a padded envelope! Felt offers a variety of sculptural but also other approaches characteristicl for most soft sculpture. From different material applications, blind print,sewing,embroidery, printing, cutting, combining with other materials…. Here i was trying to make a sculpture that is also a gift –box for jewelery at the same time. This sculpture is one of few I made combining hand-made felt with metal. But not any metal - this is horse bridle! A Horse bridle have symbolic meaning: it represents the conquer over the (horse's) spirit. The horse's spirit is broken and becomes obedient… I've made this sphere by putting fleece layer after layer in millimeters combining different colorus to make a concentric patterns within. That is quite tricky, because after you have finished the sphere you don't see any more what you have done beforehand ( particularly, if you are making a specific pattern!).The only way to find out is to cut it in half-and expose its core, its structure. But with this cut, you forever destroy the whole. That is the point of my story:I want to expose the »history« of making it , I want to reveal the symbolic »thruth«, to expose what would be hidden otherwise. And I want to talk about duality that surrounds us. These two halves are connected with bridle…..and only together they make the Whole again( a bit like that ancient Greek story about first human beings being cut in half….). These two halves with symmetric concentric circles- appearing like two gazing eyes-are made in that manner that one centre is concave and the other one is convex. The convex one has a »cleavage« in which you can stick a small piece of jewelery( a ring or earrings). To make it a bit more "spicy", I made "nipples" on the outer side, that can be used as buttons to tie the »gift-box« sculpture. I will include a photo of a similar sculpture with the ring, to demonstrate how it was meant…. It's a bit of an unusual piece of art a hybride...which can also hang on the wall ..... ( I gave once such a gift to friends who just married and it was a big "hit")

two of the images are showing also how it appears with the jewelery in it , that means as a gift-box! For keeping it closed i'd add a ribbon....

I'm interested in many things and I'm on the constant search of new ways to share my thoughts in the visual language, but also stories, universal human issues, issues concerning women and many more…. Therefore I'm also changing materials and forms in order to express this things! I think I don't have a particular style, because everything is subordinated. to the subject I'm interested in. I tend to shell the majority of »feeling« from the material itself. I use a huge range of materials:from classic sculpting materials (predominately clay, stone, glass bronze) to more contemporary ones, like plastic, fibre, felt, found objects, liquid….. to non-material mediums ( video., sound or animation). If I feel vulnerable I might choose felt to work with ( for "protection"), next time,if I feel like »falling to pieces«, I might decide to make sculptures made of multiple pieces that need to be assembled, or when I'm happy and content, I choose clay or metal, to show how strong I'm feeling…. So, there's clearly lndirect physical evidence of my mood/state on material itself!! I'd divide my work on two main complexes: The intimate (smallish) one and the public / large one. In the past I was interested in figure but also the fragments of the human body like hands, legs, bellybuttons, ears….although I don't work very much on figure nowadays I still return back to it now and then, because it's somehow the eternal source…. as it's for material:clay! I'm particularly interested in space, so I often work on site-specific installations. I love to work in remote places somewhere in the nature. For me it's more important the place , where I work, then how many people will actually see this work at the end…. That counts predominately for the public concept. When I work In small scale , the surrounding space is less important – although,it's never totally excluded- there I put a lot of emphasis on detail. I deal a lot with symbols and surrealistic visual language sometimes my art is very minimal, but sometimes rich in form and colour…There was time when I was quite influenced by Magritte, but also Cubism( after my travel to Africa in eighties) and Brancusi. In time of study also new English sculpture had huge influence on me , like Deacon, Kapoor, Woodrow, Caro , Cragg and many others from that generation! My art usually refers to ( personal) past events or premonition of the future or has critical, even sarcastic note to the modern society.
