Bronsstaty Tunagården Eskilstuna
When I was first asked if Svante should stand as a statue
Near his childhood home ”Tunagården”, I thought no,
Svante would want to be on the move, not carved as a
Statue for all and sundry to stare at.
Later, after I had had contact with Mats, I understood that
he wanted to know the real Svante as a person. It then felt
suddenly very inportant. Svante had something more to say
to the word through Mats.
At the initiation Mats has placed a rose in Svantes hand.
Now, when I visit Tunagården, There is always a freshly
Picked rose in Svantes hand.
