INTENSION
«Structures as points, lines and junctions that emphasize the
potential of imagination at the place.»
«An odd place. Not necessarily ugly or pretty. First of all an
alien sculpture in Rindal. The structure shall make one ask
questions. What kind of place is this? That is what looking at
the stars is like. Something that you fully can’t comprehend or
totally grasp, but still a fascination for how absurd the reality
can be.»

THE TRIP TO THE STAR NEST
A pointy heap of twigs stands on stilts in a steep hill surrounded
by pine trees, brushwood and moss. The heap of twigs is an
outsider that has found its place in the clearing. This place is
a funny place if you look close. And the star nest is ready to be
explored.
A path leads you over the wet gras, twist and turns and takes
you between some trees, takes you over stones and gives you
the opportunity to choose other adventures.
Before you move towards the star nest, you can take a brake
where the path ends and dangle with your feet over the edge
of the simple structure. Then you’ll go up to the heap of
brushwood and search after the hidden door in all the twisting
twigs... The star nest is soft on the inside. The walls encloses
you and all around you are bent twigs that curves and takes your
view up towards the whole in the roof and the sky beyond.
During the day the sunlight filters through the wall of twigs, and
bath you in a soft light that allows you to look at the sky above
without wheying. During the night this is the darkest place and
only a glimpse of the big heaven of stars above. This structure is
about the fascination of looking up.
