Virtuous Circles 2
1991
Clay and grass
This second version of Virtuous Circles, although different in form from the one at the Miró Foundation, shares with the former the ideas of perfection and circularity. The work consisted of twelve balls of clay mixed with grass seeds suspended from the ceiling in an ordered circle. The two times it was shown, I hung the balls and placed a bag of water around them, so that the grass grew in the gallery until the opening of the show, when the bags were removed. The pictures are from a solo exhibition at the Wanda Reiff Gallery in Maastricht and from a group exhibition at Pulchri Studio in The Hague called Ode to the Light. The image of the bags is from Pulchri Studio. The arrangement of the twelve small boards is another attempt from the same period.
