Cosmic labyrinth

                                                         Ceramics
˝ The star suggests the universe of which man is part, the cup or urn are subtle references to the holy grail.
Man in his quest often keep hold on to, trying to find shelter or salvation in faith. With the sphere I refer to nutrition and thus growth, possibly sowing a seed which can germinate again to the birth of something new. A cycle without an end. . ``

The distance between Venus and Mars

                                       `` The Distance Between Venus and Mars `` is a sculpture  but also a suggestion of an ancient device that  refers to the classical Gods in a sense. An interesting theme, which  was  very popular in the Renaissance  for both artists and courtiers. This ancient device shows a timeline within a cosmic system . Astronomy and astrology where very popular during the Renaissance, even more  the mythological love affairs  between gods and mortals .

The Bright blue

The streets

where I walk

are Changing colour

gray and purple

ochre and orange-brown

My shade

runs behind me

along as the day

passes

and the clouds

leave holes

For the bright blue that appears

What a contrast

against the bright white

as the day goes by

It`s all over..
