Karin van der Molen - wood mood

It's this gorgeous time of the year; walking through the wood we're enjoying colours and the scent of fallen leaves... and art.

Kasteel van Gaasbeek

Belgium

 

We're busy chopping wood in our 'forest' to get our supply of logs for the next winter.  Karin's work is very inspiring... I might have a go at making a similar work on a smaller scale in our own backyard.

Eric Croux revisited

Eric Croux's work during a previous art event made quite an impression on me.

A few installations in a smaller scale.  Almost impossible to photograph with this limited camera...

the delicate 'air drawings' are hardly visible in pictures

wires are stretched across a space and painted to reveal structures

can you spot the upside down chair floating like a ghost in an ancient castle?

Fascinating

Le Palais des Cheminées Idéales

After a sunny, warm and gorgeous indian summer the first chilly wind and drizzle makes one long for a nice and cozy fire.
Just the time to show some pictures of 'The Palace of Ideal Chimneys', a funky and crazy installation.

entirely set up with waste material

a swivelling hearth and chimney in the centre of the room (I didn't know I could move it until we were gone)

the next room, a crazy kitchen

a bedroom that will keep out the icy winds

the sanitary installation

I simply can't keep my eyes from the stunning effect in the first room

the old walls with flaking paint and plaster and stripped wall paper are breathtaking

can't get enough of it

in a church of the tiny, peaceful village Watou near the French border.  Pictures taken in 2009 during Watou art tour.  We won't be able to make the tour this year, so many things going on and not enough time...

another detail...  dozens of small floating 'ships'... so tiny that one can't detect them entering the space.  Wonderfull small worlds.
