Ingbert Brunk spends a great deal of time in the marble quarries and factories of the island in a constant quest for what the large, sawed open blocks are willing to reveal about their inner life.Ê Coloured bands and layers running through the stone transform themselves under the artistÕs hands into multiple pictures, or into suites of pictures, into diptychs with pictorial fields disposed in mirror-image, representing a repetition in reverse of the uncovered patterns.

The sculptor also employs this marble, energized through inclusions, in the creation of fully formed works where it becomes a decisive shaping force, the structure being conceived in dependence with the natural order of the layers and inclusions. These set directions in the sense of strengthening or disciplining of the lines of force, in order to achieve an additional dynamisation of the surface.
