Sun Egg No.6 (2023)
The ‘Sun Egg (inspired by Elsa Beskow’s story, ‘The Sun Egg’) becomes an invitation to stimulate active interactions and encounters with our natural environment and to emphasise the sensuous aspects and create affective moments that encourage the user to take time to understand the relations between living things in changing ecologies.
A public installation as part of the Land Art Residency in Dikemark, Norway. Alongside seven international artists in the grounds of an old (and current) psychiatric hospital.
To be experienced from within…
To be inside a woven structure, hints at an almost architectural way of thinking – an experience rather than just seeing.
Could the simplicity of inviting adults to take time to be more childlike, playful and curious, be a way of helping invoke new ways of thinking? An interaction and experience that will encourage a shift in thinking towards one that has care, co-existence and collaboration at its centre.
“How does a gathering become a ‘happening’ that is greater than a sum of its parts?”
