Horsehair Raku “Spread your Wings”.

Horsehair Raku "Spread your Wings" for the Exposition in the National Tree Museum

Yesterday, the blacksmith Jan Cuiper finished the supports for my horsehair raku wings for the exhibition at the National Tree Museum the Arboretum in Doorn , Netherlands organized by the NVK Nationale Vakgroep Keramisten, the Dutch Ceramics Organization.
Unfortunately, the exhibition got postponed to September 2020 due to the Corona virus and pandemie.

I put the wings in my backyard. The title “SPREAD YOUR WINGS” which I came up with was months ago and so depressing now that every one has to stay inside. But at the other hand it is a very uplifting metaphor for the future to take off again after such a difficult time in which many people lost their precious lives due to the virus. My sincere condolences.

The tallest with smallest wings in the back are 2.15 meter or 7 feet high. The smallest with biggest wings in the front are 1.45 meter or 4.75 feet high. It is like they are flying up and get smaller when higher up with the movement of the wings. Then the steel pole moves in the wind like the wing is flying.

Horsehair Raku “Spread your Wings” installation in my backyard. The tallest wing in the back is 2.15 meter or 7’; the smallest front wing is 1.45 meter or 4,5’.

The 2nd tallest wing.

I put the installation in my frontyard so the people passing my house can enjoy it.
