Crusty rinds, broken open by fissures, remain partially exposed, in off-centre position, contrasting with the smoothness of the marble frame. Superimposed layers are cut through and carefully worked to the surface to make them run in scaled curves diagonally to the frame.

Characteristic of all these works is a deliberate restraint to spare accentuation. The framing itself is structured with great economy - appearing only fragmentally, or in the guise of finely honed stripes and polished borders. In this way, objects with pictorial character come into being - representing a conjunction of sculpture and of painting with a chisel.

The search for adequate marble plates and blocks, the discovery of the individual colour spectrum and varied structures inside a rough piece - both presenting themselves as mere hints on the unworked surface - represent an essential stage in the creative process.
