Susan Wäckerlin – week 2 – a garden full of myths
Jun 18, 2022

Dear SASSO Residency. What a Sanctuary you are. The garden with its outgrowing plants and trees is full of myths…I’m reading about them, taking sketches and notes, sleeping and melting in the sun while the bugs are busy working in the grass.

Sasso’s Golden Combinations – Story 3 – How we match together like Lime & Coconut or Watermelon & Chili
Jul 2, 2022

‘How lucky that the people of Sasso have put us together in this time slot of the artist residency.’ ‘How would the Sasso’s have chosen to put us together? It’s so spot on!’ 

These are statements that the four of us, Tonjaschja, Susan, Uta and Barbara have said to each other several times from the moment we walked into Sasso. And we repeated it while cooking together, drinking coffee in the ‘stone garden’, while working downstairs in our atelier or during on of our Brocki-tours.

‘What a fantastic match and how special that we click so well, and that we inspire each other in this way.’

Later, when I scrolled through this Sasso blog, I noticed that artists who were here before us, this year, and the years before, had these exact same thoughts. The above statements have also been literally thought, felt, lived (and communicated in this blog) by previous residents of Casa Sasso.

Still, we don’t know how the Sasso-people make their choices, how they put together such right combinations. But the outcome, the energy, the happiness, the beautiful full moments, the shared experiences, the continuous laughter that fills Sasso all the time, we know these to our very fiber.

Thank you dear Sasso community! Thank you for your care and lucky, golden hand.

With love,
Uta Neumann, Barbara Collé, Tonjaschja Adler and Susan Waeckerlin
