A verse on stone is an artefact, insofar as action and timing of a text - always inseparable connected - come to an halt and appear as a visual event. Now the viewer / reader is invited to find out in which region of her / his brain system certain old layers of experiences are ready to connect with this new poetical statement.

Comments about Tidalwave
Werner Reichhold, West Coast artist /author, offers a mini-museum in which he invites the viewer to wander. The museum is made of paper, suggest substance, moves like a tidal wave, quite literary pulls together threads of his life, and beckons to the reader / viewer. It is composed haiku, tanka, other texts, installations, drawings, collages, photographs, photomontages and sensuality. Reichhold has shown massive steel-installations in galleries and museums in his native Germany, Italy, France, in the Americas and elsewhere. In his book he has attempted successfully to create the power of one of his giant installation in a new form Joe Nutt
Comments about Tidalwave
I think that the energy, the motivation behind a work, the strength of values, are paramount. The light touch, humor, cuts far deeper into the human psyche than reasons and intelligence. He has chattered the barrier to the subconscious beyond the capacities of most of us, proof to the strength of the artist in him. And to do this without being overwhelmed and driven to insanity, your lightness is both a cultivated defense and necessity. Perhaps the only sane approach to life. Reichhold: Keep braking the barriers of rationality; use your multiple skills to detonate a lot of rigid mind sets in the haiku community today – something needed. It appears that many who write haiku today are multi-talented, with professional dancers, singers, mimes, photographers, and other art forms represented.
There must be something about haiku, ZEN and oriental philosophy that appeals to a variety of artistic sensibilities.

Comments about Handshake
What I appreciate in Werner Reichhold’s drawings,
is their unpredictable, revelatory character.
They certainly present experience of reality.
I find the drawings charming. Their crazy
intensity travels the full emotional range from
the sublime to the corrupt. I enjoy their often
nasty, almost perverse whimsy as well as their
obvious elegance. There is a delightfully
rambunctious, almost wickedly prankster-prone
quality about them that is entirely entertaining.
Their spirit seems quite wonderful human.
Larry Junkins, Professor of the Art Department of
the University of Wisconsin, Madison
Comments about Tidalwave
I appreciate Werner Reichhold’s Tidalwave as one
of a growing number of artwork by artists whose
creative endeavor ultimately focuses on the value
of art to the realization od a more compassionate
world. Such artists see art as a viable means to
the development of language stat still
communicate a vision of hope for our planet and
all its people. It is my appreciation that this
movement is the “avant-gard” of contemporary art.
I also believe the exploration of art as a
technology to heal individuals and nations is the
ultimate source of aesthetic renewal. Any
breakthrough to a profound artistic vision will
derive from the energy that flows from the
passion for the reconstruction of our world from
an attitude of peace for the planet Earth and its
inhabitants. This movement is gaining increased
momentum throughout the world in many disciplines
other than art, but art is the only one that can
create the appropriate images. There is an urgent
need for new symbols as well as the
revivification of the old ones that proclaim the
simple vision of compassion. Now the challenge
for artists is greater than ever before in
history because of the need we have to develop
images that speak not only of the individual
artist’s life but on a much deeper level call
forth a memory of a common collective bond. Now
and in the future if art does not speak of the
fact of universal human aspiration it will have failed intirely.
