Bernard Villers - Table(au) de jardin

"Coffee tables stand on the grass, on bare ground, on crushed brick, on dead leaves. Their tops are in bright colours, lacquered and with a large round hole in the middle, framing a part of the ground...

... bits of nature meeting bits of paint. Confrontation of two palettes : the natural one and the chemical one. A kind of garden marking out. We go from one place to another, from table to table, from one colour to another, at the mercy of the winds."

Bernard Villers (B)

Fred Périé - Infractions

"A red liquid seems to have been shed in an isolated bush, leaving traces. What happened? And why are we here? And there we are, inevitably in breach of the laws that we attributed to nature!"

Krijn De Koning - the Gravity Museum

The ruins of the medieval Abby of the site make a perfect contrast with Krijn De Konings' (NL) "Gravity Museum"

On arrival it was cloudy and grey.

But once we entered the sculpture, built over part of the ruins, the sun joined us and this made the whole difference.

The bright colours start to reflect on opposite walls and shadows add an extra dimension.

I could spend hours here and watch the play of light and shadow as the sun moves and the intensity of the light changes.

Definitely a site to visit when the sun is shining.

meanwhile in my studio ...

... I'm getting in the Wood Mood

Work in progress.

After the plastic period with the latest Good Mood Lights last year and the stacked ceramic sculptures Honderdwater last winter it is time for a wood period. So I'm covered in saw and sanding dust, and have a soft carpet of shavings on the floor of my studio.

Still in the trial and error phase, many ideas in my head that need some time to become reality.

Detail on the floor - a gap between the containers.



5 linked containers; the 3 on top make a spacious room where the artist-architect Luc Deleu explains his research project 'Orban Space'

View from the top floor on the yachts in the marina.

The last picture is a permanent work, similar to the above, at the Middelheim-Antwerp sculpture park.

Jason Meadows at Beaufort03

Jason Meadows' colourfull kiosque refers to the small pavillions in gardens and parks. He also found inspiration in nearby Plopsaland, a theme park with attractions for small children.
