Choker (choker necklace, Bloodwood and cable ties, 14.3cm diameter, Dirk Marwig 2014)
The cable ties hold the ‘choker’ together(no glue)-Because bloodwood is a very hard wood and the cable ties are semi flexible you can pull it open (to slip it on ) and then it snaps back into the original shape/position…(you…
The Deal / El Trato (Cedar wall object, 78cm x 90.5cm x 3.2cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)
-Every ‘deal'(trato in spanish) has a detailed, limited framework on which 2 parties(or more) agree upon. The framework has a distinct ‘make-up’ only known to the parties involved – all ‘outsiders’ are excluded. So the framework becomes another- the 3rd…

U.N. (Enamel and high pigment lacquer on plywood, 51cm x 51cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)
This painting corresponds to the “Airport” painting : the outline of my irregular heptagon constructed only with the help of the “Golden Rectangle”. The spectator is again involved to connect the invisible lines inside of the ‘outline’. Endless possibilities.
Airport (High pigment lacquer on plywood inlay, 62cm x 62cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)
This painting shows how to ‘construct’ an irregular heptagon on the basis of the ‘Golden Rectangle’. Even if this is an irregular 7 sided polygon(irregular heptagon) there is an intrinsic feeling of harmony and balance that can only be explained…

Margareta (-Plywood construction-plywood and fishing line, 48.5cm x 28.5cm x 38cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)
Sometimes ‘it’ just happens: with my kind of twisted logic I cut various pieces of plywood rests at a particular angle, assorted the cut pieces according to size and then started sewing the pieces together. Without thinking or expecting something…

I always wanted to make a ‘mobile’ or a ‘kinetic object’ with perfect balance but not with ‘wire’ because for some reason I don’t like ‘wire’. This plywood object hangs from the ceiling with a nylon string and moves, shakes…
