“It's always about finding a synthesis between nature and abstraction. I dismantle and abstract the body, from which a new canon of forms arises. "

- Ursula Hanke-Förster

“In the abstract compositions I am looking for balance and tension in one. I want the viewer to feel these works, to feel the surfaces, heights and depths of the various materials such as wood and metal. "
