Zooming in on nature’s details formed the basis for a series of woven willow structures.

While working at Kinkorn Design, I designed four interactive exhibits for the island of Tiengemeten, commissioned by Natuurmonumenten.

The shapes of the exhibits were inspired by plant species found on the island. By studying the seeds of Devil’s Beggarticks (Bidens frondosa) and the ears of Triangular club-rush (Schoenoplectus triqueter), a series of imaginative forms emerged. These shapes were enlarged and woven in willow around the interactive installations.

The exhibits include a spinning wheel with historical photographs of the island, a zoetrope illustrating the ecology of the tides, boxes containing animal skins for visitors to touch, and a large rotating bowl introducing invasive species.

The constructions were developed in collaboration with HAL3 Projects and woven by Piet Hein Spierings, with assistance from Jean-Louis Muller. The zoetrope illustrations, depicting a heron catching a frog, were created by Paul Maas.

Devil’s Beggarticks reimagined as structure for the Zoetrope.

Triangular club-rush reimagined as structure for the feel pole.
