work

herman van der made is impassioned by boulders.

stones formed deep in the earth getting their shape by their journey through rivers and glaciers.

he is searching for them himself; this is essential to him.

he is seeking to beauty and the subtle processing of the stone shows respect for the boulders and for the long journey they made.

it is important to him that the sculpture stone retains the original irradiation.

his  sculpture stones have a meditative character.
