Description:
‘They are very poetic. They are something I haven't seen before. They reminded me of Thomas Schutte, in the beginning, but now I don't think they are at all the same. Also, they are prototypes and what is so beautiful about them is that they are prototypes without ever referring to an exact prototype. You get the feeling that you have seen these things somehow in urban situations, or as models, or in drawings of cities. In the same time, they appear as sculptures. But the most impressive point is that they are in between, they don't perpetuate the idea of a model, instead of a sculpture. They are "becoming" sculpture and you still have to keep this in mind. Very simple. Very clear looking. A relationship between sculpture and architecture.’
