The Willowman

The most exciting part of the Floriade (see last post) in Holland, is the sculptures and cradles made from willow branches. They are in a little wonderland hidden in the forest of the Floriade.The land of the willowman. The willowman, Will Beckers, lives here and works on his art at daytime.
 Here some exciting art work of The willowman

Walking through the forest on the Floriade, suddenly there is this tunnel. Of course the child in me can't resist to explore this exciting pathway.

 

Part of the tunnel is full of nest like artwork with wishes for nature made by the children who learn from the willowman all about it and help him build some of the stuctures and some of the artwork .

The legs of these trousers contain vegetables, like lettuce and tomatoes

The pantihoses, which hang from the craddle, contain seeds. The seeds are manured by the animals who live in the craddle, and lateron the animals will eat the vegies and the circle is round.

And then we arrived at the centre of the trolls in willowland. The right one is the hut of the chief troll. No? oh eh I think the willowman lives in these?

Wonderfull to be craddled like that

Standing on his backpaws this cuty looked at me over the edge of the willow brances. I came closer to admire him as he moved away.

This dove has his own flat in willow land
