I really like Ron van der Ende‘s sculptures. They are just great for what they are, but I personally feel closeness to his work since I share some of the visual concerns in my work. I got to know him a little through Facebook and he has asked me to participate in his annual studio music playlist, ArtBBQ. More than 40 artists have come up with lists of albums they played in their studios in 2011. I’ve been busy checking out new music there.

In between above and many more I listened lots of classical music (late Beethoven string
quartets, Mahler and Bruckner symphonies, Chopin and so on and on) and various electronic
music of sorts.
My studio with a few pieces in progress. I’m hoping that I can finish a couple this year…
