Reflective artwork André Pielage

Cultuurhistorie in het landschap

Across the street from farm Groot Zandbrink at Leusden, an oval-shaped hill with an enigmatic history is visible. Visual artist André Pielage was asked by Vallei Horstee to create a work of art for this hill and the location of the former Zandbrinkermolen that makes the cultural history visible and tangible. On the dark gray silo, the contours of the Zandbrinkermolen and the landscape are executed in a reflective artwork by Andre Pielage. The clouds are reflected in the artwork and make the past and present come together.

A puzzle of 1200 pieces

Iwaarden is responsible for digitizing the design, devising and elaborating the production process, milling the mirrored panel material, plotting stencils for assembly and mounting the mirror parts on the building. The two silo walls of fifteen by fifteen meters are covered by Iwaarden with twelve hundred reflective parts. These puzzle pieces together form the silhouette of the Zandbrinkermolen and the landscape. The reflection of the ever-changing sky in the artwork makes it part of the landscape.
