MARTHE WILLE

Dutch Design Hotel

Reed's whispers THIS SCULPTURE WAS INSPIRED BY THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. AS I BIKED PAST THE HOTEL, I WAS STRUCK BY THE REED THAT SEEMED TO DEMARCATE THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THESE TWO WORLDS. SEARCHING THE TENSION BETWEEN STRUCTURED, ORGANIZED URBAN SPACES AND THE BIT OF WILD PLANTS STICKING OUT IN THE CITY. FINDING THE REED AN INTERESTING IMAGE CARRYING FOR ME THE STIFFNESS AND RIGIDITY OF THESE AREAS. On show at Dutch Design Hotel Artemis 10-06-2023 till 30-09-2023 EXPORING WHILE MAKING IT AS STUDY IN STILLNESS AND RIGIDITY, YET IT YEARNS TO MOVE AND TRANSFORM. LOOKING CLOSELY FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN THE SUN IS OUT IT CREATES VERRY RAPID, SUBTLE VIBRATIONS. CREATING A CALMING SOUND, LIKE WIND PASSING TRHOUGH REED FIELDS. MIRRORING THE MOVEMENT OF ATOMS AND MOLECULES WITHIN MATTER ITSELF THAT SEEMS SO STILL FROM THE OUTSIDE. SPARKING CURIOSITY TO THE VIEWERS TO REFLECT ON THE FRAGILE BALANCE BETWEEN OF WHAT THEY SEE AND THOUGHT PERCIVING. THE ENDLESS POTENTIAL FOR CHANGE OF STATES AND TRANSFORMATION THAT EXISTS ALL AROUND US.
