By Martin Bauer One of the characteristic of your works is that when you came here, you did not bring anything of already done work. I think even you didn’t come with ready project. You develop your idea here along and in the river. This is very important. The second thing is that alongside the footpath you started contact to the people of the place and so as an artist you give the chance to the people of village or the people who visit here to open their eyes, to open their mind and so they can see the ambient in another or in more open way. I think all these arguments are important, and we should see these arguments together. Maybe I could see here more a green or ambient idea attempt. But I would not do them apart, because I think, the ambient also political fight, personal idea of art and ambient art and also the active group of Montagnardi and other person they I think had influences of this week that we had together. I think and I hope also your works is a little bit this influence by these ideas. I am interested to add two ways of your works. One way is starting from nature from life, from total human being on the earth and you did it along the river. We can see life in its total way in river. This is one way and you did it with fishes as representation of active nature and you took as material clearly the stone and you may be see the goddess, the female god that is to bring life to show and that life must end, she bring also life and death, and she bring water which is the sign for life and that and also the substance. Without water we could not live. This is very well done what you show to me and others into river. The second I mentioned it while ago your interest to have contact with the people from the camp, to have the people from the village, and to show it with your horse or dandy steps. There I can see that you wish a lot of luck to all the people that go there. You know and you mentioned notice the history of this place which is very important has been very important for donkey and horse transport material of the wood and you give the idea of the future. Because of we return to the footpath and if we are able to reuse it and as an example to go by foot and donkey, if we are able to reuse it, we do something important for us and for the place and village. I see very near to each other art and communication, I think our instrument, to communicate is also an instrument to be creative, to create something, and for us as artist to explore something, and explain it to the other. Communication and art is very near. So we as an artist, with and idea we can communicating bring our art to the people, and bring to the people the idea and also to the people which are not professional artist can be creative and can work in artistic way. Maybe our future would be better if all the people could bring out artistic and every special idea that we have inside us and if we are able to scream it we are communicating and communicating people can not chose themselves because communication finishes in this way. I thing this is one of the central and the most important question we have to think about and we have to answer. Maybe not today, but tomorrow or after a while. We know the way how economy looks to nature. Economy look to take all value and to earn money. We know how to destroy it and know we come to another point, that artist has to go into the nature, and into nature environment, but in another way not to destroy it to take all the value, no in a opposite way to show the value of nature and to help to save it for a future generation. In this way I found your work very sensible with your art. I saw that to work with stone, yes you change the stone but in a very sensible way. I didn’t see any hearting, I didn’t see any destroying of nature and so I can agree we as artist, we have to find new ways, how to look to nature and how to use nature without destroying it, because an artist as you use the nature, to show how important is nature for our life, this is a good way to look nature in the future.
