Some of you may remember that in 1956 there was a bloody revolution in a small country in Europe, Hungary.
She wanted to breakout from the chocking yoke of the USSR. It was a spontaneous uprising due to the harsh and unjust treatment of the peoples. For a week or so it looked that people achieved what they wanted. The West was encouraging all action but we soon find out that it was only some lip service. The USA even stoped General Franco to send some troops to help the revolution. They were afraid to pull a fight with the ‘Russian Bear’.
By November 5th a few hundred of Russian tanks rolled back to Hungary a few thousand Hungarian had died during the fights and the West was sitting on their hand. The USSR and its rule remained for another 33 years.
So this date is part of the human history. Just type it into a search-engine and you could learn a lot about this event.
Just to make a step further. Hungarians did what the West did not do. Hungary opened its western border to the East-Germans to go to West-Germany through Austria in september 1989. This action triggered the fall of the ‘Iron Curtain’ a few weeks later. Did you know that?

Almost all the religions say that life on earth will extinguish from fire falling from the sky. O yes, one can see that any given night all those shooting stars are the minuscule forerunners of the big one. So you can ask, why did I make this work? Do I want to scare you, or what…? No! I want to direct our attention to the fact that it is not a given that the human species will end up like that… If we would take this threat seriously, then we have “grown up” enough to prevent this celestial disaster… But will we wake up early enough before it is too late…?
This work is made up from three panels. It is approximately 9 feet long. The idea came from the fact that we are able to splice the genome and make ‘new species’. I wanted to show the Centaur, which was supposedly a better fighter then the man on a horse, it has two hands and do not need to be guided, and see we are here and they are gone. I am concerned about what we are doing in our labs. Will we let the ‘ginny’ out of its bottle?

This was a commission. I had to develop some ideas for the living room of a gorgeous condominium. After a few meetings with the couple owning the place, I presented four drawings. For my great surprise this abstract wave got their attention the most. The actual work is approximately 300 lb in one piece. To take it to the fourth floor condo and to hang it on the drywall was quite a trick.

I feel that Oppenheimer never got the respect he deserved from the politicians or the scientific community. Lets face it, without his superb intelligence and “charisma” the Manhattan Project would have never materialized. Man, the species, was ready to make the steps to the atomic age … Would it have been better if Hitler’s scientist made the “bomb”? Or what if the invasion of Japan took two to three years, instead of 3 days… where the island would have been turned into dust and most of its inhabitants would have been killed from conventional bombings…?

Leo Szilard was the one who come up with the idea of the chain-reaction back in 1934. He patented it with the British navy to assure that the idea will not get into the wrong hands. His theoretical work laid the base for the Manhattan project, testing the fact that chain-reaction will occur if critical mass of radioactive material brought together. It was in the physical laboratory of the University of Chicago where the first test was made. Loe Szilard was also the only co-writer of Einstein’s letter to Rouswell which started the “making of the Bomb”. Szilard was one of the first, if not the first, scientist who were able to fore see the power of destruction of the Bomb, and started a campaign to not to use it. This action landed him on the wrong side of the establishment and his security clearance was withdrawn by 1944. He never got the well deserved acknowledgment. With this work I pay my respect to him.

Almost everybody asks “Who is the Renegade Jew”.
To me it was John the Baptist. He was the first who started a new ‘sect’ of the old religion by baptizing the people who were not satisfied with the high priests’ action at that time. The David stars on the top and the crosses at the bottom are the indication, guide of the individual identity.
Many artists had made of portrait of the ‘Renegade Jew’ but they called their work ‘John the Baptist’.
I feel that this historical figure was more then just a baptizer, he started a revolutionary new thinking of Judaism, and for that he was a rebel, a renegade.
John’s sad ending is somewhat a recurring event through out human history.
Criticize the ruling elite and ‘your head will end up on a plate’.

Everything is made up by vibration, as nothing remains perfectly still. This abstract work was sold, but as the people came to pick up the work from the Gallery, to my great loss the wire supporting the piece gave up (broke). The work fell from the wall to the floor and broke to pieces. As the gallery owner called me, the would be owner arrived. Seeing the broken work she broke into tears. It took me one week of hard work to restore the piece. When the repaired work was shown to the client again she could not believe that it was the same piece. She could not make herself to buy this work, she bought another piece of mine. One of my old teachers said, “to make art work is easy, but to restore it needs mastery”. One thing I have learned from this event is to always check the wiring.

Crucifixion – 12″ x 12″ raku fired ceramic – 2013, mounted on 21″ x 21″ wood backing. Many friends of mine think that I become very religious, which is not correct. I wanted to express the “Station of the Cross’ seances with only heads, hands or foot to concentrate on the emotional aspect of the event. These plates may not be everybody’s ‘cap of tee’ but I had the inner need to make them.
This was another way to mount these plates. But the simpler wooden frame brings out more the feelings of the expressions.

24″ W x 36″ H – Hammered copper mural – 2013 We were up north for a few days at the Cyprus Lake National Park. The beauty of the Bruce Trail at that location is breathtaking.
This tree, I depict on this hammered copper mural, moved me. It could be hundreds of years old, as the centuries reoccurring forest fires could not destroy it. It grows at such unforgiving location that it is ‘untouchable’. Also at the same time the poor nutrition supply and the harsh weather conditions let it grow so slow that a small tree, as mentioned above, could be 200-300-500 years old.
This is the reason I made this mural to commemorate this unparallel resilience. I call it ‘Against all odds’.

Canadian Willpower – 24″W x 34″H – hammered copper mural – 2013
Some time ago we owed a piece of land up in Halliburton at Gall Lake. As I was building our cottage and get close to nature I saw this young maple growing out of cracks of the Canadian Shield. I was marveling its resilience and full heartedly could associate with it. I made some sketches of it.
Now after thirty years I feel that I made it also on the ‘proverbial Canadian Shield’. We/I came with nothing to this wonderful country and after 40 years of hard work, I am in the situation now that I could make this commemoration of that young maple.
I call the piece ‘Canadian Willpower’ because that it is what we, entering this country, must have.
May be you could say that as I get older I get more sentimental, please forgive me.

23″H x 42″W – Hammered copper mural – 2014 (SOLD) I have seen these trees on the Georgian Bay many-many years ago when my dear friend Karl Langenfelt took me for a boat ride to the open bay. It was interesting to see this dead old tree and a young new one shooting for the sky in it shade. I felt a human parallel in this scene. Do you know what I meant?
23″H x 32″W – Hammered copper mural – 2014 With the boys we were up at the Cypress Lake Campground and Bruce Peninsula National Park and walked many times up to the Bruce trail. The view from the top of the trail is breathtaking. The huge overhangs of the limestones creating a canopy are magnificent. Walking under them is a real adventure.
Also in the far distance you can see the outline of the ‘Flowerpot Island’. Now, that is the view I tried to capture.
If you have not been up there, then put it on your ‘bucket list’.
I do not know how you will react to this latest work.
I have this idea a few years on my mind; I wanted to make something which is a very human activity, without falling into the trap of pornography.
Now you see the outcome.
The truth of the matter is that last time when we were flying back from a Mexican holiday, at the airport I saw a book that was called ‘The Maya Sutra’. It is/was a play on the Hindu teachings of married life the ‘Kama Sutra’. I did not buy the book but took the idea for the title of my series that I called ‘Dozen ways to love your love’.
So the title of this series now is:
‘CaNa Sutra – Red’
with a subtitle:
‘Dozen ways to love your love’
All these tiles are 11-1/2″ square with a red wood backing.

It was interesting to see this dead old tree and a young new one shooting for the sky in it shade. I felt a human parallel in this scene. Do you know what I meant? You may see some parallel between this and the some concept called the ‘Sunset’. Sunset has already find a beautiful home, so I made this ‘Sunrise’ version of it. You can see my interpretation of the setting sun – circular hammered lines around the sun – and the rising sun, radiating out to the new day.
24″W x 42″H – Hammered copper mural – 2014 SOLD I want to make this more figurative copper mural. I used different chemicals to achieve some coloring of the copper sheet. I think this attempt worked out fine. I used silver leafs on the sword and gold leafs on the crosses and the halo. Look up the two details I’ve also posted.
19″W x 29″H – raku fired ceramic – 2014 I am referring to 40 days rain, the deluge, the one that almost all religion and myth refer to. It is a question if that was a rain or a huge ice chunk that fall into the sea at the south pole which created a tremendous tsunami, but it seems that definitely something catastrophic had happened. What I’m trying to capture the 41st day when the rain had stopped. The sun is coming up. Life could start again. I’ve melted colored glass into the bowl of the sun that is how I got this effect.
It seems that it had resonated with many people as it has fined a home very fast.
Now isn’t that beautiful? The ‘new’ sun is rising above the rainy clouds.
17″H x 21″W – Raku fired ceramic – 2014 (SOLD) As previously I’ve said, the human characters of the religions, being Greek-Roman or Judeo-Christian, that attracts me. To me, the prophet Jonah is the one I mostly can identify with. I feel that I would have done the same thing … run away from the chore because God will not deliver on his threats.
But how could Jonah knew that he had been used, and so what, he was a prophet, it was in this ‘job description’.
So this image came to me by reading Jonah 3:4 –
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
12″H x 18″W (each) – raku fired ceramic – 2014
I do not know how you will react to this sequence but once more I am back at the prophets.
There were quite a few of them and I do not know if you have a favorite one, but I do have one. My favorite prophet is Jonah.
I have prepared his representation a few times already in ceramics and somehow they always touched many people. It could be because he is the most human prophet.
He does not want to do the chore that he was summoned to do.
Runs away, punished, then he does the chore & finally when he is fully exhausted, the authorities – God – teach him a lesson. Even the poor pumpkin, giving him some shade, had chewed away but a small worm.
Nowadays that I am getting older I’ve learned ‘how-to-roll-with-the-punches’ so I do not quarrel, just do the chore.

As the old King James translation show:
Now the word of the Lord came vnto Ionah the sonne of Amittai, saying,
Arise, goe to Nineueh that great citie, and cry against it: for their wickednes is come vp before me.
But Ionah rose vp to flee vnto Tarshish, from the presence of the Lord, and went downe to Ioppa, and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he payed the fare thereof, and went downe into it, to goe with them vnto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
12″H x 18″W – raku fired ceramic – 2014
As the King James translation show:
And Ionah began to enter into the citie a dayes iourney, and hee cryed, and said; Yet fourtie dayes, and Niniueh shalbe ouerthrowen.
12″H x 18″H – raku fired ceramic – 2014
As the King James translation show:
And he prayed vnto the Lord, and sayd, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my countrey? Therefore I fledde before vnto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and mercifull, slow to anger, and of great kindnesse, and repentest thee of the euill.
Therefore now, O Lord, Take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die then to liue.
Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?
And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come vp ouer Ionah, that it might be a shadow ouer his head, to deliuer him from his griefe. So Ionah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
But God prepared a worme when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
And God said to Ionah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? and he said, I doe well to be angry, euen vnto death.

I have to admit that I have an addiction.
I am obsessed to look up one website everyday.
The past 10+ years I daily look up this magnificent site, which many times gives me ideas for new art subjects.
This site is: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
If you have time please look it up, I hope you will like it.
The results of this obsession are a few ceramic plates that were inspired by the website I mentioned above.

18″ x 23″ – raku fired ceramic – 2014 (SOLD)
When you look at this wall hanging ceramic mural you will see a different effect of this special finish firing of the raku technique.
On this sculpture I used one, white crackling, glaze only. As you have seen how beautiful the metallic glazes turn out so does the white cracking have this wonderful net of black lines. These lines are made as the cherry-hot (2000F) piece is moved from the kiln to the reduction box. (A metal box that is full with sawdust and has a good metal cover to contain the flames and achieve the reduction.)
When colors are involved it is very important that the piece moved instantly in to the reduction box so oxidization will not affect the outcome of the colors.
When using the white glaze there is nothing to be reduced, but, as the piece cools down in the sawdust the hot carbon dioxide deposit carbon ‘atoms’ onto the terracotta body where the glaze have a hairline crack due to the heat shock as it moved from the kiln into the box. So here is a trade secret; I intentionally move the white glazed piece slowly. Let it cool a bit and have nice even crack on the glaze surface by the time it is placed into the sawdust. I use a long metal fork and kind of waving the hot ceramic like I would fan someone (in a horizontal position).
So the black hairlines are below the glaze and they would stay there forever. (If I would re-fire this piece these carbon lines would burn off and new lines would come into view at different places.)

We were visiting a dear friend at Halifax. It was an unforgettable week due to the host and her friends. One of our site visits was the famous Peggy’s Cove. It is a very interesting view. Nothing else but rocks-on-top-of-rocks. If you were there you know what I am talking about. But … it has its beauty!
At first view I said to myself … this is it? … but then its grandiosity grew on me. Now this is my interpretation of the place and certainly I‘ve combined a few views to have this picture.
It was a very beautiful sunny day and I ‘almost saw’ the outlines of the British island…
I covered the water and the sun with pure silver and aged it with some sulfur; that is the reason why the sea and the settling sun have this golden shine.

In a few weeks it will be the 20th anniversary of the APEC-97 meeting at Vancouver. During that meeting of the heads of the Asia-Pacific nations there was a major demonstration mainly against the Indonesia president, the dictator, Mr. Suharto. According Transparency International he was the most corrupt leader in modern history. He has stolen an estimated $15–35 billion during his rule. This was at that time a well known fact. Less than six months after the meeting Mr. Suharto had to resign due to demonstration against him in his own country.
During those days were when the Canadian democracy, the Charter of Rights, was suspended. When our Prime Minister, Mr. Chrétien, was asked, what had been his reaction to the inconsiderate pepper spraying of the demonstrators he had a shameful response: “For me, pepper, I put it on my plate.”
One of my old acquaintances was at that place and he blamed his failing eyesight to ‘Sergeant Pepper’-s barbaric act.
You are wondering why I’m talking and making some sculptural expression about that twenty years old event.
Because of my artistic philosophy, which is as follows:
More than any other form of human expression, art acts as a barometer indicating the quality of life of humanity in any given society. In my view, the artist’s dedication having been filtered through his emotional and mental make-up dictates his actions, finding expression in literature, painting, sculpting, music and other art forms. This artistic expression becomes fruitful and meaningful only if it has an objective significance for the viewer.

I made sketches of this work 15 – 20 years ago. I was listening Bela Bartok’s “Cantata Profane”, a coral work based on an old Hungarian folk song. It is about an old hunter who did not teach his sons any occupations but rather to hunt for a miraculous deer stag. It turned out that his beloved sons became deers. I know that most of you will not understand the words of the coral work, but the emotions of this tale will come through in Bartok’s work.

Almost all the religions say that life on earth will extinguish from fire falling from the sky. O yes, one can see that any given night all those shooting stars are the minuscule forerunners of the big one. So you can ask, why did I make this work? Do I want to scare you, or what…? No! I want to direct our attention to the fact that it is not a given that the human species will end up like that… If we would take this threat seriously, then we have “grown up” enough to prevent this celestial disaster… But will we wake up early enough before it is too late…?
