Chris just started working on a new project for the Anningahof Estate and Sculpture Park, a 6 meter sculpture in concrete. This sculpture will weigh nearly 60 ton will add a new chapter to the body of work produced by Chris so far.

The sculpture will be made of concrete plates, each 200 x 200 x 14cm, stacked to reach a height of 6 meters. The first batch of 25 plates was delivered and Chris is making good progress cutting each plate into the desired shape. Eventually, when the piece is finished, it will allow one person to enter the sculpture and through added optical features, give them the opportunity to view the park and surrounding area.

Updates on this exciting new project will be shared here as well as on instagram.

This project is executed with the generous support from:

This new sandstone work titled ‘A displaced sense of guilt’, was recently installed in the small village of Valley, about an hour away from Munich. During the unveiling of the sculpture, light was added to highlight the work and made it stand out more in a foremost dark forest.

Chris will commence work on this new project for the Anningahof Estate in the City of Zwolle (NL). Instead of using his preferred material stone, he will make this 6 meter work in concrete. Incorporated in the design will be some features that will allow the visitor to view the park and the newly developed area next to the park, in a different way. More info will be shared in the near future.

“Dark matter has not yet been observed directly, if it exists, it must barely interact with ordinary matter”

I somehow felt an urge to tackle issues of social discrepancies. Observations made by me on a daily basis made me wonder how personalities and identities evolve under constant pressure and forced feeding of accumulated added values. If we seek solid ordinary ground, a firm desire for matter that makes us take root in society and gives shape to our self image, we seem to be constantly afloat. Drifting along as driftwood, gathering matter along the way and constructing our identity on shifting added values, seems like an impoverished form. Our identity seems to be shaped according to corporate values and to a lesser extent to social values. We belief in a need that is not necessarily ours but supplied to us, allowing us to believe it is an intrinsic motivation. Branding and marketing as an almost religious tool for branding purpose of living. Influences that supply a false sense of belonging. Desperation as pivoting dark matter. Quoting Wikipedia ‘Primary support for dark matter comes from calculations showing that many galaxies would fly apart, or that they would not have formed or would not move as they do, if they did not contain a large amount of unseen matter.’ So what is the unseen matter that keeps you grounded in your galaxy? Shiny glossy cover with a dark inside? What keeps your dark matter afloat?
