Mosaic the Droomtuin, in the Willem-Alexander Pavilion of Keukenhof, NL.
Mosaic the Droomtuin — Lina de Gier writes:
The special thing about the mosaic the Droomtuin is that it has been made of self-developed “clay” from the old trees of the Floriade site.
This gives the trees a new “life” in a work of art.
Each of the 35,000 pieces are hand-clad and painted. They are the works of art in themselves. I also let other people paint or clay a number of pieces on each of the 25 panels. Or have them make a drawing, which I translated into the mosaic between my designs. Everything was good, everyone was allowed to contribute in their own way.
By letting others participate in my work, I also had to let go and be very flexible.
Go by the flow.
I wanted to make a cheerful, accessible work of art in this way of working. I want to involve people in art and the story behind it, creativity, recycling, connection and nature.
Every particle matters!
