Since then, a large number of artist books and book objects have been produced. Furtwängler works with his own texts and uses literary texts as the starting point for his artist books , which are more about a symbiosis of text and image than about the classic illustrated book .
In addition, he works as a freelance graphic artist in all techniques ( wood and linocut , screen printing and, above all, every variant of etching ), who prefers to work in cycles and as a painter. His largest painting is the ceiling painting in the Martin Luther Church in Edemissen .
