ABOUT THE ARTWORK

There has rarely been a more disastrous misinterpretation of any written text than that of the famous biblical order "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it." (Genesis 1:28). It is a comforting thought that, not matter how large the damage we inflict on our planet, we can rest assured that Earth will recover and flourish once more, while the human race will have been nothing but an unfortunate episode. Let us never forget this. Relief 4 in this series of 7: The human race has developed powerful means of harnessing nature's perils and exploiting its treasures to an unprecedented extent. Our greed and arrogance, however, are no apt consultants and so the unrestrained destruction will lead to nature's certain collapse.

Born in Salzburg/Austria in 1939 into a famliy of artists I trained as a sculptor and worked as a restorer for several years before starting to experiment and create my own sculptures using wood, stone and bronze. Very early in my career I fell in love with the human form while also increasingly using my art to voice my concern about the immense human impact on our planet. My favourite materials are the famous marbles found around Salzburg (Adnet and Untersberg marbles). Decades ago I discovered local quarries as spectacular backdrops to my outdoor workshops. As a principle, when working with stone, I never use the aid of power tools. All my sculptures, including monumental ones, are exclusively carved by hand, using hammer and chisels only. In preparation for my sculptures I do intensive research, creating series of drawings and model sculptures using both clay and artist quality plasticine.
