Tribute to my Sculptor Master: Today is the day I was told Karel has no more address on earth!
We were neighbours before, for so long...
That he was an established sculptor, I could not predict.
Passing the windows of his house-boat was a treat...
His work was a treat...
Him existing, there, close and yet, the most distant achievements I could consider...
He urged me to attend his classes.
He changed my life entirely... Forever...
All about our history is a treat...
I felt I could only pay him back by becoming a pupil he could be proud of while working on a monumental sculpture commissioned by my City, Haarlem.
The day ( 14 7 2011) he appeared in my Atelier and, as usual, offered his help, I felt blessed ...
Rest in Peace Karel but may you not (never) leave us...!
