The origin of these small-scale works traces back to the 2000
sculpture symposium in Erfurt commemorating Johann Sebastian Bach. While
creating two large Bach-inspired sculptures in Saalberg red sandstone (titled
BWV 2001 and BWV 2001, variation) now permanently
installed on Petersberg), I encountered street renovation work near the
city center.
Workers had set aside discarded cobblestones - historically accurate setts of Thuringian Seeberger sandstone from the old pavement. I collected several, intending to create a small-scale echo of the monumental forms I was carving nearby.
Over twenty years later, this intention materialized in the "Erfurt cross" series. Each sett, with its worn surfaces and varying dimensions (4-6 cm sides), hosts a precise geometric void—two intersecting orthogonal planes cut with a 2.5mm disk. These intimate spatial sculptures continue the dialogue between geometric concept and material history that began with the Bach monuments, bridging scale and time through the persistent language of form.
