Meandering (2026)
Meandering is a large-scale woven willow installation nestled among the mature beech trees in the play area at Fredriksdal. Conceived as a quiet space within the landscape, the winding structure gradually reveals itself as visitors move between the trees, inviting them to wander, pause and discover.
To meander is to move without urgency, allowing curiosity to guide the way rather than following a fixed destination. Like the winding course of a river, it embraces detours, pauses and unexpected discoveries. Through its organic forms and interwoven pathways, Meandering creates a sheltered environment for children and adults alike – a place for play, imagination, contemplation and simply being among the trees. It invites both body and mind to meander.

The installation was created over four weeks through daily rhythms of planting, harvesting and weaving. Working with the seasonal material of the landscape, living willow was planted alongside the mature trees, while freshly harvested willow from Fredriksdal was woven into the structure. Branches were gathered, stripped by hand and woven while still fresh, allowing the material to retain its flexibility and vitality. Even the offcuts became part of this local cycle, returning to the goats at Fredriksdal.
