The Iron Worker

For the 175th Anniversary of the Deutsche Edelstahlwerke in Siegen Geisweid, in 2021, I reinterpreted the Bronze Figure, designed, and cast in 1896 by the Sculptor Friedrich Reusch.

A few years ago, as a Member of the Festival Commlttee, I developed the ldea of presenting the Silhouette of an oversized lronworker, as a symbollc landmark for the Siegen-Geisweid Steel Location. 

As part of an extensive Cooperation Project between the Productlon Companies and Siegerland Companles, a high-gloss Stainless Steel Sculpture, wlth an Innovative Llghting Concept, was created through a variety of manufacturlng processes and is intended to be reminiscent of a long tradition of lron and Steel Production.
