Water

One day I dug a Burrow on a beach where the sand grains are small and mixed with mud and silt. I like this place and how soft and muddy this sand feels and how easy it is to work with. the thick felt works so well with it. We came back the next, also fairly wind still but now cold, day after the tides to see what the sea had left me. On the ridge that was left of the Burrow, I put another layer of that silty sand and we placed back the felt and made another set of photo’s. The next day we went back to check for the final time what the two tides and the incoming storm did to the Burrow and for the final shots .

These photo’s are made on day one, in coming weeks I will post the photo’s of the following days.

    The top photo has such wonderful texture of the sand after the tide, all bubbly and natural. Amazing that the felt stays in the burrow, and the ridge of sand, as the tide moves in and out. I have so little experience with the sea, tides are so mysterious. Looking forward to the rest of the series Elis!

    love,
    Robin

  • About the Global Burrows project.

    The pieces are the physical image of a resting place, a place where you regain energy. I mean, the world is a bit of a mess sometimes and we seek often for that place that comforts us, feeds us, tells us all is okay, lets us heal.

    Some people find that place in silence, some in music, some in food, some in the early morning newspaper before the busy day, some in sleep, some in that still place inside, some on the flea market finding a bargain, some on a day in town with friends.

    In february 2011 I started to make burrows and will continue to make them for around 2 to 3 years, in different places, different countries. On silent beaches, in forests, building sites, schools, galleries, with different materials and I will make them with people.

    Every burrow and every 'people burrow' will be photographed. I will post new photo’s here very regularly, so if you subscribe to the blog you will get a message every time if you want. your info will not be used for anything else.

    If you want to talk about this project and spread the word, keep in mind that both the project and burrows and the photo’s have a copyright. Just send me an email if you want to use the photo's and I will ask the photographerguy. But do, do spread the word, talk about it, write about it.
    Ta!
