Installation In Situ in commission of Bergarde Galleries, Heerjansdam NL.
In this installation I I tightened strings, made of crochet with hand spun wool. They make a system, a kind of web. They symbilise the web of experiences that we carry with us, sometimes protecting, sometimes limiting us.
The tightened strings make a protective area. But the SPINNINGS can also move in all kind of directions and that way create 'confusion' in which you get caught up. The material, with its' palpability worms a contrast with this 'confusion'. As an image for our own world; what protects us can also strangle us. And the other way around: what limits us can als protect us.
On estate Het Buitenland 'SPINNINGS' found two pollard willows to mould themselves around. They stick with the trees. The trees keep up the spinnings.
SPINNINGS and trees are interlaced with each other, who is keeping up who?
During the creation I kept a blog, where you can follow the making of this installation from day to day. Click on this link: http://inevanson.exto.nl/blog_post/290447042_In+situ+aan+het+werk+%28iedere+dag+een+stapje%29+%2F+Working+in+situ%2C+%28every+day+a+small+step%29.html
