Turning the object 360º on it’s axis.
The simplest ideas always work. In this case taking a dried branch and cutting it at an angle into many slices then glueing it back together again with(and ‘in’) perfect balance. I was really surprised with the result but during the process I had my doubts. Could something so basic actually have more of a meaning to it? A Zen thing.
It’s that time of year again when the governments of the world try to harass, bully or frighten the population with useless and diverting topics in order to maintain the Status Quo. It is our duty as people of the world to make the power structures nervous! The tyranny of the government’s DATA and INFORMATION MONOPOLY must end. This is a crime. According to the governments of the world THE FREEDOM OF PEOPLE TO CONNECT THROUGH INFORMATION which lead to new IDEAS is still considered “DANGEROUS”! -My god is this not a sad and primitive state? In which century are we living? INFORMATION and DATA which lead to KNOWLEDGE that can make LIFE on EARTH for ALL PEOPLE better should be made accessible to EVERYONE and not only to a very FEW who are in control because ALL INFORMATION BELONGS TO EVERYONE! For those who still do not understand: INFORMATION IS CONSIDERED A RESOURCE or CURRENCY (like oil or water) -THEREFORE, IF YOU CONTROL INFORMATION, YOU HAVE POWER!
This piece “No Love” is from 2011. Nothing has changed in these 6 years. Things have even gotten worse! Very SAD. Dirk Marwig 2017
My little unemployed and disconnected Amigo standing there all alone. Aww!

2016 was a very strange year for me. Nevertheless 31 pieces came into being. All work shown in the sequence of their creation from the Top Left(older) to the Bottom Right(newest). My mind works in a peculiar way, as you can see.
I will only make 1 edition of 10 prints from this one. After that I’ll destroy the wood block. It is for sale in my “SHOP” section.
This new plywood light object is only held together with the help of many cable ties from the inside and out. No glue or screws were used. Despite the height (274 cm or 9 feet) and because of it’s architecture this light object is lightweight while being straight and solid (does not lean or wobble). It was photographed December 18th 2016 in my living room in West Vancouver, Canada with a few other pieces of mine.
This large canvas invites the spectator to enter and to be part of the composition. This is only a photo but when you stand in front of this large painting, you immediately form part of it and enter the world of the undefined and indefinite. We know nothing and we are nothing. Screw the big egos.
