'On their way' is an exhibition / intervention at San Nicla‘ Kirche, Strada, a Church in the Alps, along the Swiss- Austrian border, by Jenson Anto who was on a residency at Fundaziun NAIRS. About the project Dedicated to San Nicla, this kirche stands in the hamlet of Strada on the banks of the river Inn. Farming is the main source of occupation with massive barns, honeycombs and carved Ibex in wood. With the river Inn flowing by proximity to the Austrian and the Italian border gives its fusion of Romansch, Austrian and Italian. 

Delving into forms derived from infested barks of trees found in this mountainous terrain, the interior of the Kirche was transformed with light paths. Treading unpredictable streams, it seemed to direct, confuse and engage in its own way as intervening light played with the contact of glass with paper. About the artist Working in blacK and white abstracts has been an experience in overlay of stark, painterly sense of cathartic and rhythmic order, for Jenson Anto. Indulging with found objects alongside has led to studio based assemblages and land based installations.
