The Mudmann on behalf of machine factory De Boer in Wijchen, The Netherlands. An assignment from a company that makes machines for the ceramic industry around the world is a challenge. It had to be a work that would again contain many symbols that radiate to the company. The top completely in ceramic, the column traversing in the whole of iron made by Juul Baltusen art smith. Many parts made of clay with the appearance of aged old iron. It had to be a kind of dredge that transports the clay upwards while driving. A kind of Mad Max-like whole. The logo is in an old porcelain fuse, this represents the energy of the company. An owl for the wisdom of the employees, an image of Mozart stands for the conductor who must be the director to make everything run and the horse, these were used extensively in the ceramic industry in the past. Many more things are hidden in the work. A Unica entirely focused on the company.
