George has transformed all sorts of kitchenware into bodily beings. He gave them human forms, like breasts, belly, bottoms and genitals.

Through the years George had many students. One of them is Joep van Lieshout, a famous Dutch sculptor. His studio created “Cow”, the large red sculpture in our garden.
