Zeewierwoud

Installation. Kirigami, Tyvek.

In Ireland at the Atlantic shoreline, when the ocean-floor temporary becomes land, eccentric shapes of seaweeds appear on the rocks. Fascinating, huge and mysterious. With a tough leather like structure, now and then half transparent like the skin of strange sea creatures.
How would it be like to wander through these seaweed woods?

This work ‘Seaweed-wood’ started in spring 2020, during the first outbreak of Corona crisis when society came to a hold. The silence and the absence of daily disturbance gave the opportunity to optimum concentration. These peculiar circumstances were of great influence on the final looks of this work.
