Arms folded, weight shifted back, cap pulled low: this small figure leans on nothing but air. The "Luftlehner" (air-leaner) continues Hepp's series of "Wandlehner" – carved figures that have been propping themselves against walls since 2013 – except that here the support has been taken away, leaving a stance somewhere between studied nonchalance and quiet unease. Like all of Hepp's work it was made without a model: first the rough form with a chainsaw, then fine carving by hand, and finally thin watercolour glazes through which the grain of the spruce remains visible.
