Quotes:

"It is a matter of concern to me to continue the tradition of the artistically strongly individualised epitaphs and to represent this now over 500-year-old tradition by means of my work on the pulse of time." 

"In addition to making epitaphs, I have been involved in the preservation of this unique memorial culture since 2001, e.g. by participating in exhibitions, guided tours, invitations to my studio, workshops or with lectures. In 2018, the expression of the "Nuremberg epitaph culture" was included in the Bavarian National Register of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of UNESCO! "
