In the honor of wife, mother, Muse, and the sole sponsor on the journey to successfully complete the work on MULTIPLE/MULTILATERAL SCULPTURE, MULTIPLE/MULTILATERAL THOUGHT and UNDERSTANDING.

In 1986 & 88 sculptor Rasto said: “I am the Melody and the Desire (of Life)”, and received by the Hakone O-Air Museum, Japan - Superior Prize each! How Promethean! Thank you people of Japan!

Garden designs by Danica Betakova-Hlavina, born July 5th, 1945, died January 31st, 2009.

Biblical terminology: Her name was Danica Betakova, daughter of John and Maria, niece of Magdalena. Remarkable Soul, Librarian, Record Keeper, Fellow Traveler, and Messenger (Revelation 1:1-4). Rasto, Janurary 31st, 2023. The International success of the exhibition (Slovak rep., West Quebec, Japan) prompt Rasto to join this collection with his other works, under the name: The Jewels and the Tears of the Muse. (Oct. 2014 -) On the 5th Anniversary of Danica's passing away, Rasto, Wratko and Theodore presented the West Quebec public with The Betakova-Hlavina Art Collection d'Art, with reverberating resonance. Per Aspera ad Astra, from Rasto, Wratko, and Theodore.

The year 2023 is proving that Danica's essay (theory) message from 1988 was correct (honor to Danica) as it factualized (viz. Lord Ennals UN-89). By that, Rasto's work-research in M/S, at all in conclusive stage in 1989 (Thanks to Danica Betakova), and by being declined by The Institute for Contemporary Art, USA (P.S.1.NY), with the Canada Art Council in tandem (so sad!), hit a snag of 34 years. I sincerely hope that the ‘Multiples’ in simulate in 1989 by the Rule of Law ‘democratically’ chosen (see: Canadian Art, winter 1991) hit the mother lode of knowledge (as I did); so much needed! If not, the Law of Nature will prevail. Bad choices of Yesterday come back in ‘multiples’, multiple ways and multiple times, in multiple reflection. The Good Book says: Much of sin is based on ignorance and stupidity. Sadly, I concur!
