Level the Field

The installation ‘Level the Field’ consists of six sculptures welcoming visitors in the large entrance hall at Gerhard-Marcks-Haus in Bremen.

Height up 169cm, hand-cut Corten steel. 2019-2021

The sculptures are hand-cut in weatherproof Corten steel. The leaves are depicting ivy, the everlasting and ever growing, a historical synonym for life and a recurring theme in my work. It is also called Lovestone for its habit of hugging stone. On the other hand it is perceived as a serious invasive species and also as a horticultural weed; a good example for life itself and its challenges. The work was inspired by observation of the late summer when hay bales roam the Scottish landscape.

‘Hinauswachsen/ fertile ground’ is a major solo exhibition in seven rooms at Gerhard-Marcks-Haus, Germany in the summer of 2023. May-August 2023
