Waterlove
During the summer of 2011 watercreatures inhabited the canals of Leeuwarden.
A nest with knitted waterbirds, a mamma that enjoys her playfull babies and a field of heart and tearshaped lilypads.
These feminin, playful and strong flowers, birds and watercreatures occupied the public space in the historic city centre.
Commisioned by City counsel Leeuwarden, LOF and OKS.
With Marjan Beuker.
Waterliefde, texstils. knitting, crochet, and weaving techniques, rubber and recycled material. 2011
