Dear people,

For several years now I have been making and designing scrap sculptures that are made of only recycled materials (metal, wood, glass, stone, organic material, etc.) that are given a new purpose and life in this way.

In addition to this objective, all works are also finished in such a way that their haptic (by feel) can (will) be discovered. So instead of ‘DO NOT TOUTCH’ to the works of art, in our case it is desirable that people carefully go on a journey of discovery with their hands.

The works are therefore clean, free of burrs and without sharp edges and are waiting to be discovered by even more blind and partially sighted people.

As a creative person I have had the opportunity to contribute to various social projects in the past and will also like to pick up this commitment again.

During our EXPO in the Belfroy in Bruges, I was able to discover how some blind and partially sighted people were able to explore our sculptures and experience their pleasure during the voyage of discovery.

So hereby the question to numerous institutes for the blind in BE, DE and NL and so one – whether you see the opportunity to temporarily exhibit the sculptures in your buildings and make them accessible to your members. I would then like to do the necessary (build & install). I also invite my artist colleagues to participate (for free).

In our current summer exhibition in Lier, we will once again explicitly state that the Tumulus sculptures can be explored manually by everyone. Those who have been tagged or alerted by the hashtags (BP, FB & LI)– feel free to get in touch.

Forge & Furnace Tumulus

It could be said that Forge & Furnace Tumulus is essentially a personal hobby that has gotten out of hand. After more than 30 years of forging work, our activities have more recently expanded to include contemporary sculpture, bronze casting, and ceramic design.Our name, Forge & Furnace Tumulus, was inspired by the presence of six ancient Roman tumuli (tombs) within a 2-kilometer radius of our facility. If you examine some of the work from our smithy and foundry, you may recognize an appreciation for ancient history manifested in works that pay visual and symbolic homage to the record of human creativity.Owner/smith/designer Hans has always been fascinated by the creative possibilities offered by the ancient “four elements,” earth, water, air, and fire...the primal forces of nature that have always inspired awe and captivated the human spirit, from the dim ancient past up to our own modern times. Hans views these elements as an inspiration and driving force in his creations.Hans sees his 35-year journey in metalworking as a never-ending process of acquiring knowledge, developing skills, rediscovering and perpetuating traditional crafts, finding new avenues for creative expression, and serving as an educational resource for others. In daily life, Hans is an auditor and expert in quality and occupational safety management.In order to support a cherished hobby and to reduce the space-consuming buildup of our creations, we have decided to make some of the works of “F & F Tumulus” available for purchase or exhibition. If you are interested in buying or exhibiting our work, or if you would like assistance in realizing your own work, please do not hesitate to contact us.
