Dani Karavan’s work draws its material from natural elements as diverse as sand, wood, water, wind, trees, and light. His creations are profoundly humanist in character. Each installation has a resonance with the memories of its specific site, true medium of the artist, and is mainly conceived as a place of life, reflection and communion with Nature. From Israel to Japan, from the United States to Korea, from France to Italy, each of the artist’s works invites those who walk through it to experience the essence of the site itself. www.danikaravan.com

“In away the sources of my work is just a series of collected experiences, situations, anecdotes... from my daily life, translated into form.
It is very much about the ‘journey’, atmosphere... there I am in away both, the viewer and the participants at same time.
It is as I am far and above but also walking along the same path, kicking some stones along the way.... And yes...At the end of the day when I’m Looking at my work as total then... I like them to talk, scream(?) preferably just sing...”

Andreia Tocha (Portugal, 1977), lives and works in Lisbon, the city where she studied industrial design, finishing her degree in 2003. She also has a Master ́s degree in Conservation Sciences, Restoration and Production of Contemporary Art at the Fine Arts Faculty in Lisbon. She is currently collaborating on projects in the field of conservation and restoration. Her earlier works have explored light and its multiple effects, often playing with shadows and unexpected forms, revealed in her choice of materials is a primary consideration for sustainability, often employing either recycled or natural materials as the foundation for her objects and installations. This play results in an ingenious communication between art and craft, from which originates a new vocabulary. https://cargocollective.com/andreiatocha

Ariela Gotenberg-Yariv | Natural Reaction
Natural Reaction strives to convey the sense of feeling or an experience via sculpturing that does not depict the object, place, or landscape, but rather communicates a range of feelings through them. It is an entrance to the “world of form” through improvisation which is an artistic response to "nature itself" or to objects in the "natural environment," which is our mundane setting.
Spanning some 70 objects, the current body of work gives rise to a corpus of thoughts, sensations, and reflections about the place.
The decision to cast these minor, ostensibly insignificant moments, in brass, was taken in order to produce the sense of a jewel or an archaeological find that must be preserved to stop time and freeze a simple yet precious moment.

Picture 1. Little money house This little house has been carved into a tree stump in Balloch Castle country park by an anonymous artist. It sits by the roadside on the path that leads into the park, passed by many of the locals who live in the little town of Balloch on Loch Lomond, but perhaps often overlooked and unlikely to be visited by the thousands of tourists who throng to the town on the loch down below. People leave coins on the house, copper coins that match the bronze of the bark. I suppose they leave them for luck. I do not know who collects them or if anyone does.
Picture 2. Charles Jencks' Cells of Life, at Jupiter Artland sculpture park
This is a small slice of the natural sculpture ‘Cells of Life’ by the artist Charles Jencks, set in the Scottish countryside jut south of Edinburgh in the Jupiter Artland private sculpture park, a place where you can wander through woods and stumble across sculptures of stones, graves, weeping girls and trees. It’s a beautiful environment where humans have left their mark, sympathetically amidst abundant natural beauty. Cells of Life is the largest exhibit by far, a series of artificial lakes, hills and paths that are clearly man-made and of -this-world but create a natural environment that feels other-worldly.
Picture 3. Fields of sheep near Brighton These sheep are part of the flock that moves around the various green spaces in Sheepcote Valley on the outskirts of Brighton (UK), occupying the beautiful rolling green spaces that caress the earth between the urban ridge of Woodingdean and the rough stony beach at the bottom of the hill in Ovingdean and Kemp Town. The sheep are accustomed to humans, wandering close, neither species bothering the other, occasionally curious, and on this human’s part, occasionally inspired by the sheep’s calm, oblivious beauty.

My love, I had a dream, a woman knee-deep in the quiet lake with a grand bouquet of purple flowers cascading from her embrace & a guitar waiting for a tune – her only belongings. It is time to write. These days on halt feel like my stay at the cape years ago where I lived alone and in deep silence for a month, long enough for the unconscious to start spitting gems out of which my new life then arose. It is similar now, I dive with curiosity, with intent trust. I imagine your fish floating by and I smile. J.P. said, always tell the truth and see what happens. I want to be tender and I want to follow the little kid in a golden jacket I’ve met in my dream boat, she has climbed an old woman’s lap and said we are going ‘where the animals are.’ Stay beautiful.
