Goof (we were an artist couple for 32 years) was not only always inspired to make new work but could also build what he had in mind. From simple objects to brilliant constructions. In this sculpture, the airplane plywood is glued to wooden squares to get the shape he wanted. He first did that with 1 surface. If he had placed it in the workbench in the shape he wanted, he glued the opposite side to it. And then the sides. Piece by piece. He was very impressed by Möbius' strip. This is a spatial strip of Möbius. If you start at a point and you go around 4x you end up at the beginning again. Claire Begheyn MFA
