SCULPTURES UNDER CONSTRUCTION - installing a weatherproof steel sculpture
Around dinner time the work was finished but for removing the legs the next day. Freek had gone home and I was undecided how long I should wait; the cement had hardened but maybe not enough when children would come and play on the sculptures.
After dinner the helping boy returned with his skate board and was
anxious to try it out on these inviting curves. I told him that would
not be possible until tomorrow. He said he'd wait but would he? What to
do? I was hungry and was determined to wait at least a few hours more.
So I gave him money for two portions of fries and asked him if he would
get some for me and him. He left and returned with the fries. After that
he said that he would stay and guard the sculpture and assured me that
he would allow no one on them. I believed him and went home, which is
about an hour's drive. The next day Freek and I returned to cut the legs
off and finish the work.
This public sculpture did actually become a favorite temptation for
professional skateboarders.
