-This object glows from the inside. It transmits a calm, warm glow; delicate,sweet and tranquil. This object again is a metaphor: The drum skin has been beaten and banged up all of it’s life to the delight and enjoyment of…

Sweet Delicate Thing (Old Drum skin, Plex-glass + Blood wood base, 97cm x 43.5cm x 8cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

ZWISCHENWELT “In-between World” detail A (Oil on canvas, 100cm x 81cm, Dirk Marwig, Madrid 1993)
This is a detail of “Zwischenwelt” from 1993. I think that it is appropriate to publish this painting again for this reason: I find it interesting that all these airplanes in the past few days, weeks and months have gone…

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)

This post shows how I created the “divine Angle” of 137.5º going about it in my dyslexic way: -This is just a model using 36 recycled (packaging plywood) golden section rectangles.(6 rectangles per ‘story'(6 ‘stories’) all connected at the “Golden…
