Tagoror, Tenerife
In 1996 I created a rock painting on the grounds of "Mariposa" in Tenerife. The owners of a gallery, Hans-Jürgen Müller and his wife Helga wanted me to form an earth painting on the Tagoror, a round rock place, the "Tingplace" of the Guanches.

The artist Marco Pogagnic had already measured out the place with special techniques and had described it as one of the very exceptional places of energy. Hence they believed that the round place, 12 metres big, needed red earth shades. So I digged volcanic rocks round the island. During my works in January 1996, Thor Heyerdahl and his wife Jacqueline Beer visited me in Tagoror.

In March 2003 I returned to Tenerife and freshened up the earth colours, a method which the Aborigines in Australia always repeat.
