The area I chose for Natural Dialogue, is a unique place. A peninsula, shaped by a gentle but determined brook, surrounded by rising embankments that give an opportunity to view the work from the sides, front, sloping back, at eye-level and from above. The movement of the brook adds sound, mirrors its surroundings and is life giving. The beech trees growing on the very edge of the eroding embankments grow roots that then turn into vital supporting limbs in a last desperate struggle for survival. This is one of Nature's miracles which gives strength to this site. Perhaps that's why I chose to work with the crooked trees instead of straight ones. I say perhaps because I prefer to work intuitively using common sense and experience, not trying to plan, analyze and find explanations for everything or trying to create sculpture or art; but rather to work, cope with situations underway, and share personal experiences through processes and places. My relationship with the area is intense and personal. The dialogue is of a human nature. This is a key for others who are willing to participate and share this experience.
