The available Process Henning Bitsch 1. izdaja

In 4th grade (9 years old) I made this sculpture out of a brick, it was in the craft shop class where we had a free assignment. I think that my parents, teacher and classmates wondered something about my motivation. I think that my interest in the creative process has been there for as long as I can remember, and in hindsight I think that my alternative view of life, has occasionally been of great concern to family and friends. I have always been a restless human being, but I remember how I could forget time and place when I was engrossed in making an art piece. And specially the development of the manufacturing process could get my undivided attention for days. On the other hand, I did not have the patience to get the last details in my artwork, however this had gotten better with age.

That man should be a rational being is a wrong assumption, but it is unfortunately also an assumption that most welfare societies have used as a basis for building their "systems". The vast majority of welfare citizens adjust and adopt a rational behavior, but unfortunately some of these sometimes have to resort to the medicine cabinet, fortunately there is a small remnant group that has found out how to use art as a breathing space. Some from this small remnant group occasionally produce some works of art that may be more or less accessible, it can often help the person watching to consider the work as part of a process, and sometimes it can also help to consider themselves part of the process.
