Wings

Movement and interactive relationship with the body has been the most important element throughout my body of work. However through these works, I also started to explore the mechanical structure as a form. Mechanical structure becomes the most enjoyable form to me as it becomes complex yet remains simple and coherent. The contrast between metal structural form and natural feather, together with the repetitive and whimsical movements of fragile wings, provokes the imagination and evolves the intimate relationship between work and viewer/wearer. Although the recent series, segmented wings have been focused on the formal challenge to engineer an intricate movement that simulates bird wings, these works are intended to be a series of poems in which I develope my own formal language, interpret the nature of wings, create various structural forms with movements, and share the metaphor, imagination, humor, with viewer/wearer.

Helden, freaks, und superrabbis: Die Jüdische Farbe des Comics [Heroes, Freaks, and Super Rabbis: the Color of Jewish Comics] - an exhibit at the Jewish Museum, Berlin (by Prehensile Eye)

Being an untidy person by nature, I keep finding ephemera of my Berlin trip from the summer of 2010. Artists featured in the show included some of the “usual gang of idiots” from Mad Magazine, and Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster (creators of Superman), amongst others.

Out front was this piece entitled “Even heroes have bad days…” by Marcus Wittmers.
