Made of clay and hand-painted, unique. A stylized Native American (with archaic-looking characters) stands on a turtle (with teepee, eagle's head, arrows, snake and fish) symbolizing America (in indigenous lore, the country stands on a mighty turtle - Turtle Island). The trigger for this work was the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus 500 years ago (1492), length 37 cm, height 42 cm. The freelance sculptor, painter and graphic artist with a degree in education/focus on art (University of Regensburg) also works as a lecturer,
e.g. at the Summer Academy in Frauenau. There is also an interesting catalogue.

The pattern of a turtle resembles a mathematical Voronoi diagram. We use a Voronoi diagram here, which displays exhibits on a surface partitioned according to the similarity of the pieces. The similarities of the pieces are calculated by an artificial intelligence algorithm.
