Land art and site specific sculpture in the urban setting. Environmental sculpture is an art form which uses the environment as its material. Concrete art is, like any art form, human made and is therefore geometric in essence. Public art is art which can be viewed and accessed by the public.

The sculptor has been making sculptures, land art and environments since the end of the sixties. A geometric system forms the basis for his sculptures. He is concerned about being able to construct a sculpture based on this system.

In 1969 he received his first commission to make an environmental work. It was an enclosed garden for the DSW plant in Dordrecht, Holland. Since then he has carried out various site specific works.  For him there is not only one approach to a project; each site is different and has its own possibilities.

Some works complement their surroundings, others create a new environment in themselves. In some instances, as is the case with his own studio, the evident functional requirements are a new challenge for him.
