Drift Rays

Drift ways

May you never stay in place

Twist and turn

Like a rock,

in a riverbed

Aluminium is light

Doesn’t easily corrode

It´s extracted from Bauxite,

Bauxite is a mineral, a rock.

Shape like a rock,

surface like an unquiet lake.

Hang like a cloud.

A rock in the sky.

Drifts with the wind,

Like the waves on water,

Reflects the rays of light.

Looking at the sculptures

I see them,

and the surroundings.

They are never, only them.

--

As an Artist,

I’m inspired by nature.

By the sky reaching trees,

the ever flowing rivers

and the solitude of rocks.

And especially water.

A surface that moves with the wind,

Shapes itself to any surface.

Is essential to life

And a quiet killer, of fools and folks.

I’m drawn to materials,

And techniques.

To the surface, the form,

the shape, the feel

Seeing and sensing

Sensing and seeing

Connecting to the material

through hands and tools

The sculpture is emerging from my hands

Like an organic form

It come into existence
