Sculpture is working with volumes and light; sculpture taking its space, its architecture, is in my view as important as the subtle movement of a brow, a shoulder. Together they form the story that tells about the music of life underneath the daily melody.

I have favorite Sculptor-heroes, writers and thinkers as much from the 14th/15th century as from the 21st century.  They are my teachers, the inner strength of their sculptures en books are for me, as the write Jean Paul says, ‘letters from far friends’.
