The Weight of Wonder

The Weight of Wonder

2008
epoxy covered pebbles
1000×400 cm

15 tons of pink pebbles cover the 100-meter long path to a historical castle.
One treads a “story book” walkway, exotic and whimsical, inviting the visitor to approach the majestic castle and leave the “real world” behind. Though this fanciful passage is no illusion, occupying a very definite span within the weights and measurements of reality.
Questions arise concerning how our sense of history and the ideal may fit so comfortably into frivolous packaging.
