Carrying Sand to Land (work in progress)
‘Carrying Sand to Land’ (‘Zand naar het land dragen’) is about the manufacturability of landscapes in relation to politics and climate debates. The artwork provides a critical reflection on territorial man-made demarcations, such as time zones, dykes, borders and dunes. A universal fact is global warming leading to melting ice caps and sea-level rise. In Greenland water level has increased with 6 meter leading to floods in coastal regions. Scientific evidence suggests that advancing climate change will increase the frequency and scale of extreme weather patterns, and that a further rise in sea levels can be expected in the long term. The primordial nature of the earth has always been one of the notions that has stimulated artists the most when incorporating it into the works of art.
