Nature is the inspiration for my work stones, rock faces and lava shapes. In the1960s ones of the kind were rarely found in my work. Primarily it was the shape of wings which came into existence and which later, in the 1980s, were taken over from the shape of stones. Additionally, the wings appear, too, which have been significant of my work all the time. The glazes disappeared and the surfaces became rough.
My recent works show again stones and have high shapes and three corner forms of intense colourfulness.
