........... Wessi Biography

.... Thus the figures bekame more and more,  and one day I read about the Tower of Babel - 
I finally was able to sort my life and give the creatures a home. I came to Vienna and had the tower in my head, and it was like a snail shell within me and it also became my home. I spoke German, I understood, misunderstood, learned more and understood more, then I recorded it all in my drawings. Then, everyone understood.
