Art opens a window into another world. There are infinitely many interpretive possibilities. Sometimes they do not open up to us, but sometimes we have to look more closely!

During my diverse walks around Lago Maggiore I was often fascinated by the many kinds of drift wood that were to be found there, especially after flooding.

The years of drifting had often softened their shape; sharp edges had been smoothed and their colour changed by exposure to the sun during long periods out of water. I would pick a piece up to have a closer look.

Once a piece of wood has inspired me for a sculpture to be formed, I am faced with the task of replacing the missing parts with clay.

It is a demanding challenge to include the shrinkage caused by drying and firing of the clay, already at the beginning of the elaboration, and to adjust accordingly. Again and again I am fascinated by the combination of the imperfect, bizarre pieces of wood, which often give even the hint of a certain form, and the partially detailed, lifelike modeling of clay and its glazes, which allow me to create a harmonizing sculpture.
