Insect woodhenge.
\nGriffiss International Sculpture Garden, Rome, New York, USA
\nEarth, wood, stones, metal and wild flower seeds.
\nWoodhenge circle\u00a0 \u00b1 3 meter \u2205, Outer circle with wild native flower\u00a0 \u00b1 20 meter \u2205<\/p>\n

During the residency at Sculpture Space<\/a> it was my goal to make an artwork that is merging art and ecology.\u00a0 I did read about and looked at ancient Native American earthworks and prehistoric structures. At the Utica Library I got books about the Mohawk valley culture and nature. I started by making sketches and 3D models of scrap wood and metal. <\/span><\/p>\n

The final work is an Insect Woodhenge built on the grounds of Griffiss International Sculpture Garden.
\nThe work will be a habitat for insects\/small arthropods and a place for us (humans) to meet them.
\nIt is beneficial for the surroundings as bees and bumblebees are good pollinators.
\nAn symbolic gate keeper\u00a0in the shape of a half ground beetle is bend out of one metal rod. In the coming years, a clematis overgrow it.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>The photos show how the work is completed by me with the help of the Griffiss maintenance team<\/span>, now nature must take over and the wild flowers grow.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Project was supported by the mondriaan fund,\u00a0<\/a> New york State Council on the arts and the National Endowment for the Arts <\/a><\/span><\/span>and Griffiss Business and Technology Park<\/a><\/p>\n

Below are some work drawings<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
