The ceramics artist Andreas was born in Melbourne in 1957. Love made him embark on his journey to Germany many years ago, where he has now spent half his life. Berlin has become home to him and he considers it to be the ideal backdrop to his life. In the words of a prose poem dedicated to him by the Australian writer Odette Snellen, it is was "Question of Destiny":

He shook the water from his back and took to the road,
at every watering hole a lizard held out his tongue and said
this is destiny.
So he sipped the water and waded in the direction of the sun.
