The Ticino is a beautiful river originating in the Swiss mountains, and it meanders through the Po Valley. The two youths Ivon and Sango live in Pavia, not far from the river. The sculptures were also shaped directly by the life of the river, much as the recently deceased Mr. Chiodi through whom I inherited them.

    • The Ticino is a beautiful river originating in the Swiss mountains, and it meanders through the Po Valley. The two youths Ivon and Sango live in Pavia, not far from the river. The sculptures were also shaped directly by the life of the river, much as the recently deceased Mr. Chiodi through whom I inherited them.

      These objects reminded me of Franz West's “Adaptives”, sculptures which West invited viewers to use as they pleased. I gave Ivon and Sango the same directorial instruction.

      The multifaceted nature of each individual object triggers an abundance of associations which seldom can be reached by arbitrary arrangements. (Friedl vom Gröller)
