The Ideoform series returns to abstraction, using calligraphic forms as a visual dialogue between figures and gestures. Inspired by Asian traditions such as kanji, I designed the shapes ‘as if they were strokes from a brush, but in three dimensions.’ The figures were not imposed on the forms but discovered through them, relating to the abstract shapes as natural partners in motion and harmony.

​

Richard Speer describes this approach in From the Heart: Sculpture by Martin Eichinger, as one that emphasizes spontaneity and gestural qualities, capturing the interplay of motion and form.
