CITIES - sculptures and land art
Ridderkerk
The elliptical segments congruent to the ones from which the red main sculpture is comprised, have been combined to create a similar, but two dimensional movement on the pavement. The ellipse segment with its chord parallel to the south-west / north-east line follows the architecture of the buildings. And, connected to create a flowing curve with the first segment, the second ellipse segment gets an orientation which dictates the direction of the grid lines along which the poplar tree rows will line up - and, in this way lays down the direction of the oblique rows of poplar trees.
