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.

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.
