About The Artwork
This sculpture was created for the SEKIMORI ISHI MODERN exhibition. (See also my sculptures Sekimori Ishi 1 and Sekimori Ishi 3). In the period from September 2013 to September 2015, this international traveling exhibition was shown at 5 locations in the Netherlands and France. Sekimori ishi: (literally: stacked stone; figuratively: boundary stone; stop stone) is an old 16th century Japanese tradition. For 'Sekimori ishi modern' I started from the stone as a marking, modest, yet clearly present. The sculpture fits in a natural environment and is special in its modesty. The tension is not in the grand gesture, but in the details: for example the form of connection, the interplay of volumes, the balancing of shapes or the interior space through which light falls. This sculpture is made of Belgium bluestone, carved by hand. The pointed chisel gives a rhythm to the surface. It’s about keeping in balance. The round form on top is kept in place by a rope. The rope runs underneath and is locked by a little twig. They need each other, but are in harmony.

My sculptures are clear and abstract. They are created intuitively, by combining shapes and materials. While working I search for simplicity, tension and balance. The traces of the manufacturing process remain visible, sometimes in the structure of the chisel stroke, but also in fractured surfaces or the finish of the surface. This gives the sculptures a personal signature. I try to evoke an atmosphere or association and give room for individual interpretation. The form language I use is universally recognizable, and appreciated worldwide. You can find my sculptures in private collections in many countries. Background: After years of working with all kind of materials, in 1994 I discovered stone sculpting. From that moment my choice was made. With the start of my company ‘Werk in Steen’ in 2005, I wanted to further professionalize my working as a sculptor and create a place to convey my love for the profession. Since 2007 I organize classes stone sculpting in my studio in Utrecht city. And also summer courses on locations in The Netherlands, Germany and France. In 2019 I celebrated my 25 years of stone sculpting and the many years of teaching. Regularly I take part in exhibitions. You can find an overview on my website.
