It is a well-known and much quoted truism that art and labour have more to do with each other than the casual observer may first think. Particularly when an artist works with heavy-duty materials it becomes apparent they could not have been shaped without physical strength and vigour. Steel is an especially fascinating material. It is characterized by tremendous solidity and tough- ness, yet paradoxically in its molten state can be forged into almost any form conceivable. This versatility makes it popular in industry and the construction trade where it is used for mass produced tubes, sheets and grids or custom-built special machinery.

This versatility makes it popular in industry and the construction trade where it is used for mass produced tubes, sheets and grids or custom-built special machinery.

The artist‘s material of choice is steel which was once manufactured for use in a functional, usually industrial, environment. He finds these pre-formed objects in the scrapyards of Trier and Luxembourg. Since every item stored there only still exists by dint of its purely material value, its primary purpose long forgotten. Soon it will be melted down again and become something new. Beyond any functional context, these items are the ideal starting point for the materialisation of his artistic visions.
