Leave Cloud

Leave Cloud for Gerhard-Marcks-Haus

The installation ‘Leave Cloud’ consists of eleven panels installed on the face wall in the main hall at Gerhard-Marcks-Haus in Bremen.

Hand-cut Corten steel wall sculpture
2023
340cm x 540cm x 5cm

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 a stormy winter day roaming 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
