In Verbindung
At the center of this sculpture is the fragility of the connection. Solid yet delicate. The artist excels at uniting opposites.
In the middle of the elongated, solid wood block from an old lime tree, there is a window. As a contrast to the light wood, the outer contour has been stained dark. The intense color of the "exterior" directs the gaze inward to the essential. Two threads appear to intersect, but upon closer examination, they skillfully bypass each other at the tightest point, avoiding contact. This creates both tension and fragility. Because at low temperatures, the material shrinks, and the two threads almost touch. As the temperature rises, they move apart.
This process lasts forever; it is slow but constant and exudes a magical tranquility of opposites. It is worth taking a look at it every time you pass by.
