The sculpture is based on the alphabet. I took the outlines of the letters and made them three dimensional. The resulting forms are natural, original. These natural forms are intended to provide a visual and sensory counterweight to the pupils’ predominantly geometrically shaped environment.

The sculptures are meant to encourage observers to climb them, sit on them, play hide and seek among them. Moreover, their deliberate monochrome character is intended to encourage a creative sense of colour. This could take the form of a group project headed by an art teacher.
