as sandra and i are getting ready to travel to australia for another summer, we are contemplating…….
with our newsletter we try hard to transport a humanistic positive message, so we think this one has to address the topic that has been
moving us and our friends for most of 2015…….

it’s been an extraordinary year in many ways….
my art has been well received……the kids are happy and healthy, we really had a brilliant time.

yet we cannot overlook witnessing a couple of hundred thousand refugees moving through austria and europe
100,000 people in austria in one year alone, and 1 million in germany
and of course we can do this as angela merkel says

……we were born in austria by coincidence, and are grateful for not having to carry our kids on our shoulders walking on motorways in foreign countries……

we’ll be in the snowy mountains early january, victoria late january, doing comissions in new england in february, back on the
mornington peninsula/victoria for the montalto sculpture prize end february, finally near wollongong/new south wales in march,
returning to europe end march.
