Two primitive “machos” showing what they’ve got (to each other!). This male behaviour pattern cracks me up.

Fanfarone Testosterone -side B- (Cardboard construction with plywood inlay and encasing and bloodwood base; colour: oil and high pigment lacquer, 191cm x 83cm x 20cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)
This entertaining and slightly awkward trait of the primitive “macho” who shows off all his colours during the mating season in order to produce and show himself off has always put a smirkish smile on my face! Still does.
Z-Frog Seat-Table-Shelf (Driftwood with plywood inlay, stained, painted and lacquered, 58cm x 48cm x 46cm, Dirk Marwig 2009)
I made this fun multi-use ‘seat/table/shelf’ piece of furniture back in 2009 out of driftwood that I found on the beach.
Preview of a new cardboard construction (Dirk Marwig, Feb.10th 2015)
This is what my studio normally looks like when I’m at work on something. What a mess- I can hardly move. -This pic shows a preview of a new cardboard construction. It’s 197cm long and will be thicker when done.

* When I finish a piece like this one I feel fortunate.
It unlocks something special(in myself, at least). What you see is full of contradictions that coexist harmoniously, creating a level that is foreign and known to us simultaneously. The cycle of Contradiction, harmony, and Juxtaposition is working its magic. Beyond words, it is private and intimate.

Untitled Construction 2015 (Cedar and plywood, 113.5cm x 73.5cm x 23.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)
4 X the Fibonacci sequence of 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 and 21. The interesting beauty of math. The ‘divine angle’ 137.5º was used as reference to cut all the pieces.

Simplex (Wood block print, 76.3cm x 48.6cm, Dirk Marwig 2015 )
I just made 1 print of this wood cut. I don’t know if I’ll ever sell it. Minimalism at it’s best!
Amaze 2015 (Wood block print, 76.3cm x 48.6cm, Dirk Marwig 2015 )
This “Amaze 2015” wood block print(wood cut) is available in ‘blue’ and ‘red’. It only exists in one(1) edition of 10 prints for each colour. You can buy them in the “SHOP” section of this site. This wood block print is based entirely on the ‘Golden Rectangle’-that’s why it is so ‘pleasing’. The ‘Golden Mean’ is the little square on the upper right.
Amaze 2015 and Simplex Combination ( 3 Wood Block Prints, 76.3cm x 145.8cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)
2 ‘Amaze 2015’ wood block prints -one in red, the other in blue- I then added a red ‘Simplex’ print and put it in the centre. Cool combo! You can stack, rotate and/or shuffle this combo-it always works.
How I make a clean woodblock print (Dirk Marwig 2015)
Here’s a quick look on how I make a clean wood block print. I took these 6 pics today while printing the the 5th red print(out of 10 red prints) of my ‘Amaze 2015’. I’m bored with ‘red’ so I’ll start with the 10 ‘blue’ prints this afternoon.The roundish thing is used to equally press the paper onto the woodblock which is covered in red ink. The spoon and wedge are used to emboss the lines(rubbing) and the brush is used to spread lead powder-from a pencil- over the impression so that I can see where I have already ‘rubbed’.
I use a 250(g) Stonehenge ‘white’ paper which is heavy and sturdy enough to support my kind of brutal ‘rubbing’ or embossing. -It’s like a 1 1/2 hour workout!
