«In the combination of paper and wood, as has been the case in Armin Göhringer's work for years, the existential symbolic power of the organic material is emphasised. Göhringer presses dampened, coarse-fibred handmade paper onto sculpture parts, which are moulded onto the paper as a positive form. Like a kind of protective wrapping, the dried, leather-like paper covers the sawn wooden parts. Its warm, brownish colour, which comes from the tannic acid that escapes from the wood, makes one think involuntarily of skin surfaces. Göhringer has described this independent group of works as ‹formal overlaps› with the intention of ‹feeling the wood›.» from: Dr. Sabine Heilig, Kunstverein Speyer, Holz - Raum - Linie, speech at the opening of the exhibition on 02.12.2007, https://www.armin-goehringer.de/.
