Catalogue Note

"It’s important to understand our body language, how to stand still, for instance or to be quiet, and to be able to visualize bowing, standing still, or being quite, studying any body language leads us to understand who we actually are – a form of introspection...For sculptures I use wire, iron, flat iron, resin and steel, very ordinary materials, but through sculpture they become extraordinary."

THE ARTIST CITED IN AN INTERVIEW WITH ROLAND HAGENBERG, SERIES: INDONESIAN INVASION, 2008
