Woven Shelter

Tim was invited to create a work for the new sculpture trail throughout the beautiful Condroz Famenne region of Belgium. This year 17 international artists were invited to make works. The work is based on the form of an Egg, There is a seat inside to allow 2 people to sit inside the shelter. The sculpture is set on the woodland edge with a typical rolling hills view. Visitors will be able to appreciate the sculptural form in its setting, rest a while inside and contemplate nature and the landscape. The outer curved surface of the sculpture is made from local branches. Its light weight steel frame allows the fresh and flexible willow to be woven though the steel frame. This will give the shape a robust structure and will allow the work to be fixed to the ground securely. The seat is carved from locally sourced cherry wood.
