Headdress for the Divine Benevolent -side view- (Wearable plywood object with nylon string and high pigment lacquer, 78cm x 75cm x 82cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

This is the semi-side back view of “Headdress for the Divine Benevolent.” It’s like Cinderella’s shoe: it will fit only the person to whom it is intended. I made this for my girlfriend for her birthday, only to wear for

FIGHTING WITH INSTRUMENT (Plywood construction,180cm x 100cm x 85cm, Dirk Marwig 1996) *The construction of this object from 1996 is so simple: 4 cut and shaped pieces of 12mm plywood connected where the slots are. It was easy to take

Fanfarone Testosterone -side A- (Cardboard construction with plywood inlay and encasing and bloodwood base; colour: oil and high pigment lacquer, 191cm x 83cm x 20cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

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.

The Place of Lovely Ideas (-wall object- plywood construction with oil and string, 51cm x 72.5cm x 3.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

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.

Medium (Plywood construction with nylon string – kinetic object-, 65cm x 86cm x 41cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

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

Something for the Log Cabin (Plywood construction with high pigment lacquer -wall object- , 106cm x 84.3cm x 3.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

This wall object is a meditation piece. It’s made to relax and stimulate the mind at the same time. Something for the retreat in the log cabin in the mountains.
