THE DREAMWOODS - FEEDBACK
(Australian Sydney) “A fascinating exhibition, crossing eastern and western cultures.”
From the Uk, New Zealand, Israel, US, Italy, Germany, Swiss…
“Nature at her best”
“We are men with hearts of stone, who are walking over poetry, which the stones of time remember.”
“These stones invite one to sing ancient songs. They remind us that we are children, and that God blesses and takes care of us.”
“Thank you for this fragile, never-ending dream”
An American: “An elegant exhibition.”
“A beautiful surprise”
“You have managed to reveal the invisible, the irrefutable humanity of stones.” Italian woman
“Poems in a landscape” German
“What you express with stones, I express with words” (an Italian poet)
“They made me feel so emotional — they went so deep that they really touched me.”
“There are no words….It was enough just to see them”
“The forest is like a symbol for mankind – so many different colors and shapes—united with the laws of nature.”
“I simply love your stuff.”
“Nature provides everything — man interprets it.”
Japanese: (in Japanese)
“Grandiose…overwhelming!!” Austrians
“These contemporary sculptures are pieces of genius” (French)
“I have often seen stones but this is something completely new. My mouth fell open.” German
“Like being in a timeless dream”
“Pure craziness… my respects!” German
“It’s as if stones have been awakened.”
**“A wonderful revelation from the inner world, and an inspired commentary on life’s meaning.”
**“Through your art I really felt silence…I felt the presence of the divine.”
** “It’s amazing – the capacity to communicate, and the precision with which that happens, through this interplay of art and nature.”
** “It’s a meditation on aloneness – man’s essential aloneness with nature.”
“Simply galactic. Never seen anything like this. My admiration of stones has grown even more.” Germans
“Overwhelming!”
From 2007 the sculpture paths are enriched by a meditation parcours. With help of instruction signs you can do little meditations in various spots of the sculpturepark Dreamwoods.
How to come here?
from Superstrada Florence - Siena
Exit Colle Val d'Elsa Sud, follow on stateroad SS 541 towards Grosseto. After ca. 20 km (1,5 km before the Colonna di Montarrenti) on the right (indication Cotorniano-La Selva) a dirt road leads for 5 km directly in front of the Dreamwoods.
From south or also from Siena: take superstrada Grosseto-Siena, leave it for Orgia/Rosia, where you take SS 73 towards Massa Marittima for 5 km.
Then turn right at Colonna di Montarrenti and after 1,5 km you find the dirt road at left.
