Hi Helen and all,
I was hoping someone other than myself was going to say something about
Salvatore on the list. Mainly because I'm not well enough at the moment to
write about something so important. Sure, posting and doing small energy things
on platforms such as Twitter etc is different than writing something special.
There is a general and very interesting piece of text saying goodbye on
Oriana's Facebook page which I'll post here.
We showed the work "la cura" at three different venues, and I'm glad his
interview with Patrick is in the "frankenstein reanimated" book, it reflects a
solid reference to his presence with Furtherfield. I'll also be featuring
Salvatore & Oriana in my other book next year about 25 years of Furtherfield,
which was what my PhD was all about. That'll be exciting.
Ruth and I loved Salvatore's intelligence, experimentation and positivity. It
was infectious, generous and addictive. The combination of Salvatore & Oriana
together, is a playful wildness I will miss. I hope to meet Oriana in the near
future.
It is especially concerning regarding Salvatore's battle with cancer, because
as many know on here, I've had my own troubles with cancer and nearly died
myself. I'm just so glad that I am alive, and able to share with others his
fantastic spirit in my own way.
Goodbye Salvatore, we'll never forget you - you're still with us now.
Marc.
