Sculpture "Blue river" (2023)

It was a trunk of a hornbeam probably fallen during a storm, which the artist fetched in winter on a sled from the forest. The trunk had probably been lying for some time, because it already had hardly any bark. Already the trunk was interesting with its organic flowing forms as a sculpture. It began an artistic dialogue in the design of a sculpture that does justice to the original character of the tree. Edges and lines were clarified and surfaces harmonized. Finally, everything was colored with an ultramarine blue pigment and a wood oil. In a very final step, sanding was again done gently to make the edge lines stand out more clearly. The sculpture is mounted with a small distance on a dark colored concrete slab, which can be changed if desired.
