assemblage

The negative space in this piece is just as important as the positive which means its best use is to put it up as a space divider.

This wood was intended for outdoor use (shutters and rollerblinds), the metal is treated to prevent it from getting rusty.

Spijkerschrift
work in progress


A tricky title to translate because it is a play of words, the literal translation would be nail-writing (spijker meaning nail), doesn't make any sense of course. I looked it up and in English spijkerschrift = arrow-headed script.
I did not manipulate the nails into shapes, this is the way they came out of the ashes after burning our old beams in the fire.
