Gravity Form on ZigZag Table

The white Gravity Form, in view through the landscape and forest of the gardens of the Amerongen Castle, reflects the light revealing the folds of its arching form. It is situated near the white bridge and the rear facade of the Castle where the gabled roofline echo the ZigZag Table , further emphasized by the silver edge reflecting the light , upon which the Gravity Form stands.
The glass and its silver frame of the supporting ZigZag Table offers a new horizon line where reflections play with the changing sky and the Gravity Form, referencing to the reflections of the Amerongen Castle in its axial moat here at its rear facade. As one moves around in the landscape of the gardens, one views the sculpture from different vantage points, always seeing the white Gravity Form on an ever changing base, at times transparent, and at times solid, with its different play of shadows and angles of reflections. From one side the natural wood, as in the bark of the forest trees, and from the other the deep shiny aubergine, as the dark leaves of the neighboring bushes and the grand Beach trees. As the design of the base barely touches the ground, allowing the grass to reflect in its tilting panels, the Gravity form seems to want to dance with the light.
With special thanks to Orlan Novak, Volmer Lasbedrijf Veenendaal, Fixit Amerongen.
