Guestbook House<\/em>\u00a0is a structure made of bamboo, leaves, grass and string. Visitors can sit down in it, draw and\/or scribble something on a piece of paper and attach it to a string.<\/p>\n It is meant to be a place where anyone present at ComPeung, visiting artists from a faraway country or a child living nearby, can leave his or her message and can have a look at what is already there.<\/p>\n It will give people coming to ComPeung an opportunity to express themselves, and by doing so to connect with each other symbolically.<\/p>\n Nature for me has two aspects: chaos and order, depending on my mood I am attracted to the first or to the latter. This piece is about order. With it, I want to make visible the simple contrast between day and night, sunset and sunrise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Walk On<\/em>\u00a0is an installation made of pieces of bamboo representing walking legs. These legs cast a \u2018shadow\u2019 on the ground. Consisting of ice-blocks on which I have put flowerpots with seedlings. Once the ice has disappeared, the seedlings will be planted in the earth soaked by the water of the melted ice-blocks.<\/p>\n I use bamboo because it is a natural material plentiful available here. It is flexible, tough, and easy to work with.<\/p>\n I use bamboo because it is a natural material plentiful available here.
