Fairy  Ring

concrete, steel, bolt

120*120*11 cm
Fairy Ring is an installation of concrete, steel and bolts that draws on the circular growth pattern of fungal fairy rings. Mushroom-like forms are transformed into wheel-like objects and arranged as fragments of an unfamiliar system, accompanied by a trail of concrete debris.

Moving between fungal body, mechanical component and infrastructural remnant, the forms resist a single identity. Their repetition introduces a sense of order and construction into a pattern associated with organic growth, while their weight and stillness contradict the movement implied by the wheel. The installation creates an ambiguous environment in which growth, structure and residue begin to overlap.
