Folded (Oil on plywood, 58cm x 70cm, Dirk Marwig 2016)

Folded

PAPER SCULPTURE SHOW INVITATION - Version 2 copy

An example from 1995 of how my mind processes geometry. I see this image of one of my earlier works and wonder how I managed this. This one seems so simple but if you try to reconstruct it exactly the

Reach You With My Mind (Oil on plywood-irregular pentagon shape, 45.5cm x 71.8cm, Dirk Marwig 2016)

Reach You With My Mind A

This painting looks like as if it has been photographed close-up style with a ‘wide angle macro’ lens. But it’s not. This is what the painting actually looks like when photographed from a straight-on position. The irregular pentagon shape is

Mediterranean Chic -different angle- (Shaped plywood object with oil, 41cm x 80cm x 25.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2016)

Mediterranean Chic  2nd angle

This was fun to photograph. It has so many cool angles because of the ‘shape’ and ‘bend’ given to the plywood. On top of that the distorted lines with 2 external “flight points” which correspond to the ‘essence’ or flow

Bench (Reclaimed fir with construction plywood and coloured plywood inlay, oil stain and wax, 43.3cm high, 136.5cm long, 52cm deep, Dirk Marwig 2016)

Bench A

Ever since I’ve stopped smoking I’ve been making more ‘practical’ or ‘useful’ things than ever before within a short time-span (chairs, lamps and now out of all things a “bench”) -I don’t know if this is good (it certainly is
