Hardware store old fashion















This morning at the park no volunteers to assist me at the site. Had a good morning anyway. Rumbled arround, arranged this and that en tought about the possible sollutions to give the project a bit more progress. After lunch – good vegeterian one – went to a great old fashion ‘we got everything’ hardware store, thanks to our local Taiwanese collegue. Bought rope, rope and xl working gloves. Meanwhile breeding on a plan for a good harvesting method for the big ammounts of reed I need. Together with the staff decided to find my reed closer to the site and done by machine. Neveratless well done harvesting by 5 volunteers. Hard working and good mood. Had a good day alltough it was extreemly hot. Later visited Taipei city center and camera stores. Had a spaghetti bolognese in Taiwan with Tim and Jane and went back to my nice clean and quit room at the hotel.

About Me

My work is site-specific. Natural surroundings together with the social and historical context inspire me. With my sculptures I add an extra dimension to the location. I use for my installations topical natural material often combined with cultural material. Materials like willow, oak, plants and trees, and man-made material like concrete, metal and shrink film. Recurring themes in my work are tension, movement, water and light. The intervention of people and natural elements like wind or growth can be a welcome addition to my work. I like it when the public mixes with my work and experiences my installation together with its surroundings. In the end, I want my installations to fit in the site where they are built showing an extra dimension and giving a suprise to the beholder.
