Selected eARThworks - actual Top Ten of my projects

 


The Peacock Sculpture

For Britzer Garten in Berlin we constructed the Peacock in cooperation with the gardeners, which added the flourishing feather tail.
In fact it stood for more than 5 years, then moved into the labyrinth, as the earthen body didn't take the winterfrost any longer.

2007 it was rebuilt, inside the labyrinth.

Ghanaic Clayhut for Haus der Kulturen der Welt

Already in 1994 I did this hut in a museal context.'The flying suitcase' brought some Ghanaic lifestyle, tools and art into the House of Cultures.

Mark Asamoah one artist friend I made at that time during the exhibition is still doing music for us in the clayvillage ... his band Africa MMa is a top life act any year at Britzer Garden.

Portal 'Bear, Eskimo, Lion, Walrus and Child'


A project in Sweden: This portal links two playground areas at the "Bo01" - the first exhibition for ecological buildings in Sweden.
It was constructed in a mix of concrete-stabilized blocks and clayplaster. Michael Bergmann, the architect who won the competition for an ecological playground brought us to Malmø in June 2001, to complete his earthen wall with our sculptures.

Rat and Bear - Weil der Stadt

Already built in 2000 with local children, this sculpture changed its surface after 11.9.2001 - I transformed it into a monument of peace.
But not for too long times - as local authorities broke it down over night in 2002...

Instead of the forerunner we built the succeeding sculpture on the other side of the town wall in Weil der Stadt. The mighty friendly bear... and he is still there.

 

'Natural Garden' in Wunsiedel

In cooperation with the 'St.Josephs educational centre for children and yong adults' we have been building a playground and festival area from 2000-2002.
We added a willow-branches stage, that can be used for any kinds of performances. In summer the whole construction had turned all green with fresh leaves. So we were successful with this living architecture.
Apart from our work with earth, we had two smaller projects on wood and stone carving. A lot of skills and opportunities to take part in...

'Pallaverpavillon'

6 colorful relief sculptures surround a massive hut, made of stone, wood and clay. They are symbolising the peacful unity of all colors and races on earth.Of course we've added a little seemaid and an angel...

Its a cool place in summer!

Later we did this 'standart' in some more places like Stuttgart, Bielefeld...but the prototype is still at Britzer Garden.

Die 'Tartaruga' in Pochio dei Pinii / Sardegna

Going south. At Poggio dei Pinii in Sardegna we errected this turtle-seat together with children from a local kindergarden.
Our dear friend Madda Achenza, a local architect organized the project at the place, her kids played on , while she was in University and dug their hands into the dirt...
But not only- skillfull mosaics and a separate elefant sculpture have been achieved.

Clayhouse on the schoolyard, near Stuttgart

The clayhouse is based on our framework technology - something well known from the old times in that part of Germany.

With the help of some ready made stones donated by Claytec, we were able to realize this hut in 10 days in the schoolyard.

The hut was bulit with children of "Schallenberg" primary school in Deufringen.

Ovensculpture 'Frog' in Järinge /Sweden

Gertrud Thames, a local artist and natural building pioneer in Sweden offered me to do a workshop in 2007. A 'must follow' project!

Following plans and instructions of Kiko Denzer from Oregon I built this 'frog' in a 4 days workshop together with all the members, taking part.
Spielpalast und Schattenpavillon

Our big structures Spielpalast and the Schattenpavillon are at the top of our achieved earthen architectures. From the point of design as from the technical approach, quite complex, but still based on earth and simple beauty. Lot of hands and love in it!

Both objects are elements of the 'Makunaima' clay village in Britzer Garden, Berlin.
