Water, air, fire, light are the inspiration for many of my art works. I try to explore the transitions from the heavy, solid, seemingly eternal material stone to something volatile, vulnerable permanently changing. Of course this explorations have limits (unfortunately) but I try to come as close as possible to my ideal.

Garden of Poetry, my personal guarantee

I am doing a fundraising campaign for my book "Garden of Poetry". Can you help me?

You may ask yourself what happens if we don´t reach the goal for the funding. Is the money lost? Do I still get the perk I wanted?

Well, the answer is easy.

Actually I have two answers.

Answer number one: I am convinced that we will reach the goal. There are still 44 days and I will certainly do everything to make it happen.

Answer number two: In the unlikely case that we do not reach the funding goal completely, with todays possibilities of printing I have the possibility to make a  book for everyone who claimed it as a perk (inluding marble case made by myself if you choose that option). Of course I don´t aim for a tiny mini edition of the “Garden of Poetry” book, but nobody who contributes will be left without the perk they wanted.

It is also understood, that everyone who makes a smaller contribution (25 Dollar) will receive a hand-signed photograph with a poem.

And of course everybody who makes a real big contribution and wants to have a sculpting class in Italy with me will receive it.

So don´t worry. You are 100 percent covered by my guarantee.

Does the world become a better place once my “Garden of Poetry” book is made?

I am doing a fundraising campaign for my book "Garden of Poetry". Can you help me?

I wouldn´t dare to claim this. Yet I want to contribute to the beauty of the world and I am confident, my book will be a little contribution.

Honestly I was surprised about the positive and often very emotional feedback I received at the exhibition.

Of course many people don´t have the money to buy a sculpture but I would really like to give everybody at least the opportunity to take the exhibition home in a book.

As you certainly can imagine this is an ambitious aim.  

Apart from the work it requires from my side, a fair amount of money is needed to produce this art book.

Actually I need $ 5000 for the layout and for printing a first edition.

So I am turning to you, trying to raise the money with your help.

To achieve this I will work together with the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo.

Indiegogo makes it possible to transfer money easily via PayPal or credit card and at no cost for contributors. It makes the fundraising transparent and secure.

As a contributor (or even if you´re just curious) you can always follow and control the process of fundraising.

How does it work?

Once the fundraising campaign has started, go to my campaign page on the Indiegogo website (I will provide the link and further information as soon as the campaign can be seen publicly on the Indiegogo website.).

Here you can make a contribution via PayPal or credit card.

If you make a financial contribution, in return you will receive a reward, to thank you for your help.

Indiegogo calls these rewards perks.

There are different perks, according to the height of your contribution.

These are the perks you will receive from me.

1) Contribute to the book with 10 Dollars and receive a mentioning on the list of donators on the “Garden of Poetry” web page. 

2) Contribute to the book with 25 Dollars  or more and receive a photograph of a sculpture of your choice with a personal dedication and the poem that goes with  it and a mentioning on the list of donators on the “Garden of Poetry”  web page. 

3) Early bird bonus: The first three contributors who make a contribution of 25 Dollars or more additionally will receive a copy of the book, with a personal dedication.

4) Contribute to the book with 100 Dollars  or more and receive a copy of the book, with a personal dedication and a mentioning on the list of donators on the “Garden of Poetry” web page. 

5) Early bird bonus: The first three contributors who make a contribution of 100 Dollars or more additionally will receive a copy of the book, in a beautiful hand made marble gift box made especially for this occasion.  

5) Contribute to the book with 500 Dollars  or more and receive your copy of the book, with a personal dedication and a mentioning on the list of donators on the “Garden of Poetry” web page.

Additionally your book will come in a beautiful hand made marble gift box made especially for this occasion.  

) Contribute to the book with 1470 Dollars and come to a one week sculpting class with Wolfgang Sandt in Italy.

Wolfgang Sandt shows to one of his students how to use stone masons tools.

Making a financial contribution is probably the easiest way to support my book project.

Yet I need and appreciate every help you are willing to give to make it happen.

So what can you do?

Spread the word.

Tell your friends about the project.
