Scapes

Scapes, Installation at Manifstations, Dutch Design Week 2024

The site specific – installation, contains two apparently disconnected works, Typographus (nature) and Scapes (culture), seeking to communicate with each other and the viewer. Scapes is an installation of multiple circles covered in plastic scales, hanging low from the ceiling, illuminated and moving, like a living organism. With this work I want to evoke a feeling of wonder, emotion and lightness. Guests can walk around, sit under and (almost) touch it. Typographus consists of a tree, eaten by the typographus (bark beetle). To emphasize these natural gluttonous spores, looking like calligraphic signs, are “inlaid with gold”.
