Eike Waltz enjoyed a twofold career as a ballet dancer and as an US based international electronics industry consultant (US citizen since 1997). He studied fine art and industrial design at the Royal College of Art in London (MDesRCA). After the events of 911, he began to write and perform about what he saw. Eike lives in Santa Cruz CA and has published 14 books. Visit his website www.f-artstatements.com and find under Eike info on his sculpture activity and publications! Eike Waltz is an artist who walks across genres on a tightrope of talent and keen, precise vision. His poetry is informed by the varied span of his other abilities as a dancer, sculptor, orator, filmmaker, and more. His work is wrapped in colorful and textural layers of sensual detail. Even more, his work is informed by decades of experience across continents, sometimes barely surviving, sometimes exultant and triumphant. He carries the reader spinning through the stages of ecstasy and despair.
