Statement & Curriculum Vitae
Jens BALKERT（b. 1945，Denmark）
Statement
Inspiration comes from the tripod vessels from the late Shang Dynasty in China known as Chueh vessels. I want to place all the formal energy in the upper half via using the 3 points as a springboard. And I also emphasize the distorted view depending on where the optical centerline was placed.
