Anyone
who has followed my work over the last ten years will probably question
my obsession with the earth, the spiritual, magic and religion.
This obsession is a mere reflection of my own life.
The earth that feeds us, the earth we walk on as long as we live, the
earth they bury us in once we stop breathing, the earth as first contact
point for all primal civilizations.
Where on this earth is of no importance; be it the different ethnical
tribes from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego that are buried in their small
earth hills with their dogs and personal belongings, or any of the Bantu
tribes, like the Yorubas in Africa, or the Aboriginals in Oceania or
the Tibetans with their particular view on life and death.
There you find the Cult of the Ancestors that links together all the
primitive cultures, you find the personal fascination for primal things,
and it is there that you also find the link between my artistic work
and my spiritual and religious life.
There you find my life.
