The wall hanging Hercules refers back to the artist's investigation of Minimalism but also includes a night sky, three modular sculptures, and fragments of the classical mosaic pattern that is another recurring iconographic motif.
The wall hangings are hung from rhombic or hexagonal wooden rivets. There are two variations of the felt hangings: some pieces include a print of a tiled motif. On other pieces, a fragment of the tiled motif has been printed directly.
The roughly life-sized, totem-like sculptures, assembled from a varying number of distorted rhombic shapes, may seem to stubbornly take on personalities. Some are monochromatic, others multi-colored but all refuse to be easily grasped.
