Hommage to Defiance-side view- (Lacquered plywood construction with plexi-glass base, 44cm x 47.3cm x 7.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

-This object is based entirely on the “Golden Rectangle”. The ‘Golden Section’ or the ‘Divine Section’ can be seen clearly if you look at where the red lines intersect. Also notice how the red lines run perfectly parallel and perpendicular to the surface it stands on.
This object could be made a lot larger. Actually, it could be a cool building! -I chose this size because I had the plywood for it available in my studio. The object balances perfectly on top of the the little plexi-glass cube, giving the illusion of defying gravity. But how does it balance in the first place with such unequal weight distribution? hmmm…
‘Hommage to Defiance” is an hommage to basically all kinds of ‘Defiance’. Don’t let “RULES” or “LAWS” get in your way or stop you from expressing what you have to say to the world(not harming others, of course)!

Hommage to Defiance -semi side view- (Lacquered plywood construction with plexi-glass base, 44cm x 47.3cm x 7.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Using the “Golden Rectangle” and the the “Golden Section” I built this new object, giving ‘minimalism’ that extra little ‘twist’ of the defiance of gravity. Eat your heart out, Donald Judd!

Inspector (3643 plastic straws, Ash and plywood, 56.8cm x 38.3cm x 7,4cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

“I love the idea of encasing and compressing plastic into a wooden structure. This piece (Inspector) gives the illusion of an architectural floor-plan being magnified or closely inspected.”

Time = Energy Model (Falsecypress, plywood, plexi-glass and waxed string, 70.5cm x 45cm x 10.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Time = Energy Model (Falsecypress, plywood, plexiglass and waxed string, 70.5cm x 45cm x 10.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

“I have always been obsessed with the concept of “Time”(‘Zeit’, in German)- Its behavior and inconsistencies. I believe that ‘Time’ is Energy and that like all other energies can somehow (in the future) be fully understood and positively applied. But seeing just how sluggish mankind is…. this will take a while.”

Time = Energy Model (Falsecypress, plywood, plexi-glass and waxed string, 70.5cm x 45cm x 10.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

(Time = Energy Model seen from the front-slightly looking from above) This piece really relaxes me. I cannot put into words how it makes me feel. Mesmerizing. Timeless, possibly.

I’m sure this is a situation that many of us have encountered:…in a club, out of your mind and suddenly someone asks you to to dance…you look at them and they look like this! hahaha. You think: “I must switch drugs, this does not look good, …bad trip!”

The Dance of Captivity ( 6 wooden coat hangers cut through the centre then reassembled, gold leaf and glue, 50cm x 94cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Three dancing girls or ballerinas that also look like a piece of barbed wire. This ‘Dance of Captivity’ can be used as a metaphor for many situations in life. It could also be a good logo for the North Korean Ballet Company! – Dedicated to Norma Duval. Legs Up and Over! Can Can. “Kitsch Tragique” !!
