the song wild thing you make my heart sing

They have found a way of producing, without degrading the environment working collectively and diligently, driven by a commitment to achieve their objective. These “wild things”, these industrious creators, are inspiring. Its cell-like forms suggested to me something done by wasps or bees and so I decided to make a piece in honour of insects. In a patch of garbage, heedlessly left behind in a beautiful field, I saw some cardboard that might have been previously used as industrial packaging material. “Wild Thing, You Make my Heart Sing” was born during one of my frequent walks in the countryside. Nature and human activities are often in conflict with each other, but they don’t need to be. My work is about celebrating that which I like and appreciate: nature, especially the wilderness, and at the same time, cities, progress and all the new inventions that improve our quality of life. Only when we have integrated this concept will we be able to treat everything and everyone with respect and care. Integrity comes from the realization of our oneness that is, the awareness that we are an integral part of ONE planet in which we live, where we are dependent on each other, our lands and our waters. This process of individual and collective expansion should lead us to question how we act, and to confirm that sustainable peace and progress can only be achieved with integrity.

We each seek happiness in our own way because each person’s relationship to life is so unique. When we don’t succeed, we launch revised and expanded dreams in a desire to improve the new situation we have created. We inherited our ancestors’ dreams of prosperity and peace, and try to realize them, and at times we do. The speed at which we move as individuals, as countries and as a human race is faster than it has ever been.
