“Progress Paradox – the progress of today is a fossil tomorrow”.
This group of works is a representation of the paleontological fauna and flora. The works are of great aesthetic appeal, the objects of the primordial animal and plant world have something in common: they are “living fossils”. They are the inspiration source, for the design of a fantastically appealing world. The goal is not a one-to-one reproduction, the form elements are rather geometrically abstract and thus to their own forming language.
The trilobites, such as the Nautilus (ammonite), the squid (Belemnite), the tulip tree, the ginkgo biloba or various ferns, are the beings that have lived on our earth for millions of years.
Human beings also appear in this group of works. Only will these survive as long as they permanently destroy the ecosystem Planet Earth together with the living fossils? This is what I call (R) evolution in the spiritual-mental sense. Rethinking, thinking … acting.
Transformation is ultimately the goal of the way – spiritual matter – a paradox without mystical transfiguration. Metaphysics, alchemy or the divine? The answers are always individual and yet networked.
The 3D works are digitally modeled by hand with special, elaborate 3D programs, so to say from a virtual clump of clay or a virtual stone. I do not use 3D scans or figures from a generator.
Compared to a sculptor’s work, CAD modeling is the digital tool for the computer. Without imagination, craftsmanship and technical skills, no art object could be created even in the most modern technology. The modeled 3D objects are either printed or rendered, as a three-dimensional object in 3D laser sintering process or are generated two-dimensionally as image / C printing.
Due to 3D printing, the object is not a mass product.
Although a 3D sculpture can be reproduced as often as desired – the printing process is too time-intensive and too expensive with a few hours per object and is therefore only suitable for single objects or limited editions.
I always use the 3D prints and renderings in different sizes, so they are a unicate. A 3D print in stainless steel is never identical to the next print.
The light objects such as “TriloShpereLight” are printed in nylon plastic. The lighting emphasizes its own formal quality and compositional dynamics. The implementation is unique in its kind and the works impress with something mysterious.

"Survivors" - digitaly hand modeled and 3D printed in nylon plastic. LED lighting.The Work "Survivors"- or Nautilus Lights belongs to the work group “Progress Paradox – the progress of today is a fossil tomorrow”.

"Be(e) Aware" - digitaly hand modeled and 3D printed in nylon plastic. LED lighting.
The title of my work “Be (e) aware” is a pun. Correspondingly it means to be aware and careful – but not here before the sting
of the bees, but in this case the bee colonies are in danger by monoculture economy and changed environmental influences.
Although they are not yet threatened with extinction, the situation
for the bees is critical. Globally, beekeeper services offered by beekeepers are becoming more expensive.
One third of our food grows exclusively after pollination by bees.
The bees and honeycombs of my work are white, only by the
lighting they are honey yellow. “Be (e) aware” is a signal – yet the honey is flowing …
