About

Natural structures solidified in crystal-clear cast resin - laid open and made visible in photography and sculptures.

Various pigments and materials which I infuse in liquid cast resin are floating around each other and getting spread out until they sink down to arrange themselves into a new order. Like a drop of ink does when it scatters itself in water, loses its shape and diffluences.
This – becoming a new order to each other - is happening while the cast resin hardens and captures the structures arising. I break open these cast resin blocks, like a rock, subsequently to expose the inclusions laying inside. In direct sunlight I either photograph them or continue processing parts of the cast resin blocks to sculpures and light-objects.
This is how I uncover what layed hidden - structures which got formed by natural principals. Like the patterns waves leave in the sand or the drop of ink in water does. Its this natural aesthetic that I want to integrate in - and visualize with my work.
Its only arranging and uncovering what I do -
Nature is the artist.
