AGGREGATES
A piece of art as part of the bi-annual bicycle route ‘Van Hier tot Ginder’ in lovely Okkenbroek in Overijssel.
For just a couple of weeks (sometimes just days) a year the Bosbaan in Okkenbroek is used for its original purpose, a natural ice rink.
For the biggest part of the year the Bosbaan is an oval pond with (liquid) water.The aggregation situation of a substance is the state it is in, either gaseous, liquid or solid.
If water freezes (solidifies) hexagonal crystals appear.
This work with the title ‘Aggregates’ has hexagonal structures floating on the water of the Bosbaan.
Each structure is constructed of modules that exist of three elements, 3 atoms, H2-O; the water molecule.June 2012
