It was on a hot day at the beach, that an idea for this lace installations came to my mind. It lasted all week, withstanding even a thunderstorm. When it was time for me to leave, the lace was still intact.
In the following years, I made several dozen similar, fragile structures around the world. Usually it's pure visual poetry, but I also like to say that my installations are a symbol of human relationships, in all their complexity.
I don't weave the lace I use, it would take too long. Wherever I am, I try to find local lace makers and local lace patterns that I then weave in the installation. The material I use, the elastic band, is made of natural rubber. When exposed to the sun, after a few weeks it stiffens and breaks. That is why my installations are only temporary, they age naturally, like plants, flowers or spider webs...
