I

I call them semi-automatics because these sculptures originate completely automatically in the blind. The form which I obtain in this way is first of all examined by me from a technical point of view. Everything I judge too fragile or not suitable for the bronze is taken away. 

By manipulating my form in such a manner a lot of images suggest themselves to my attention. Ordinarily, one image is prominent. 

This one I chose.

And from that point on I continue consciously until the vision I had becomes clarified. 

Sometimes, from one day to the next my vision changes because my mood has changed. And then the sculpture is modified (not the original form--) to suit my new inspiration. It is fascinating for me to observe these modifications over which I have no control.
