Artist Statement
Venus is the ultimate nudity as visible in our now so digitized mind.
As a great admirer of Jean Cocteau I met with him (so in a dream) when he confronted Eike with the importance of ‘the line”. At the same time when I (then a ballet dancer at the Deutsche Opera Berlin) was told by a family member of Stefan Zweig (the writer) to pursue the meaning of “to say” (say it outside the box – say it differently – say it with passion – say it concise).
This sculpture is part of a series called “returning to the square and circle”. Color plays little or no role as the shape “speaks”. I expect my art to perform in telling a story and find you listening. I received a MdesRCA (Master of design, Royal College of Art, London).
