ABOUT THE ARTWORK
human nails # 5 consists of many individual wire nails that are connected to one another by targeted welding points and thus unite to form an abstract, human figure. The steel sculpture was mounted on a section of an old hanza (little hayman) which were previously used by the farmers for haymaking. However, due to the technical modernization of haymaking, these are rarely used nowadays and lead a shadowy existence. In this series something new emerges from these relics. The upper area of the sculpture was processed with different tools and the surface was sealed with a matt clear varnish to prevent the steel from oxidizing. All sculptures by Manfred Hellweger are unique.

CREATIVE PROCESS AND INSPIRATION Manfred Hellweger questions the meaning and value of existence, the world and humanity. His distinctive sculptures are mainly made of wood, metal and stone. Hellweger uses simple shapes such as cubes, strips, boards, nails or shaped tubes. Using a variety of techniques, the individual parts are connected to create mostly figurative works that taper towards the base. Through this process, Manfred Hellweger's sculptures evoke a sense of vertical dissolution, symbolizing the perpetual change of our time. Everything changes and develops, nothing remains the same. Each piece embodies Hellweger's credo, “less of everything rather than more”, reflecting a philosophy of simplicity and contentment that extends beyond art.
