CATHEDRAL
Into The Great Wide Open
2025
Cathedral is a textile and architectural intervention set within nature—an invitation to stillness and a renewed perspective on the surrounding environment. Composed of fine threads, the semi-transparent structure appears as a drawing in space, shifting with light and movement. Inspired by stained glass windows—once used to convey stories and truths through colour and form—this immersive installation evokes similar moments of contemplation, its image evolving with the sun’s rise and fall as it offers the viewer a rhythm of light and reflection. Unlike traditional cathedrals built from enduring materials like stone and glass, this structure is temporary and responsive, monumental in scale yet delicate in presence. It stands not to dominate the landscape, but to harmonize with it.

This installation explores the natural and constructed rhythms of land and architecture, through a type of spatial drawing. The work is the artist's response to the experience of living next to the Wadden sea and walking in the kwelder for the last three months, additionally the installation refers to historical changes in the region.
“I am drawn towards the history of this land. Centuries ago the sea defined a rhythm of life for the communities living here. As the sea tide came at different moments in the year, people would retreat to higher ground, finding refuge on the 'terp'. As the tide receded, they would return to their homes and work places, continuing on with their rhythm of life. Nature, in continual unpredictable flux, journeyed alongside resilient communities, forging a delicate bond between humanity and the environment… I mark changes - from dark to light, from winter to summer, this becomes a way of recording/encoding my experience of being here. The work itself changes as you move around it, beginning as an image that you can look at and becoming immersive as you move beneath it or to the side of it.”
