THE SNOWGOOSE 2016/2018
( waiting for the snow goose to return )
inspired by Paul Gallico’s small book: The Snow Goose ( 1940 / 41 )
inspired by Camel’s music album with the same title: The Snow Goose ( 1975 )
• The Snowgoose;
the long waiting, a strong loner’s being,
transformed into a monumental perspective.
At the same time the work fits in a series of works
in which Atelier Dré Wapenaar is relating it’s work with design; the cliché idea of a triangular shaped tent transformed into a monumental sculpture.
Between Design and Sculpture.
