Heavy rain

Not a good working day. In Groningen, The Netherlands we know rain but not that bad as here. Already 24 hours of rain and no stopping at all. Everybody tried to do some work but nobody did a good job today I think. Bonggies artwork was overtaken by high water, Stuarts too and mine… The site became water, the harvesting of reed was not really possible because of the water rise and we, ‘Donovan’ the volunteer and I were soaked all day, especially in the harvest field. In one night 12 centimeters water was fallen! We continued and found a way to use less reed in the sculpture. We started to cut large bamboo in small rings to be used as a skeleton together wit split bamboo. Despite the rain we still had a good day. To me its funny: nature artist always fighting the elements to do their nature-art thing.
