When it became apparent that the tree had been affected by the giant polypore fungus and could no longer be saved, Johan Mullenders, tree surgeon at the De Nieuwe Ooster arboretum, took the initiative to organize a farewell ceremony. On February 21, 2024, more than 150 people gathered to share memories and say goodbye to the red beech tree.Where the arborist's work ends with the death of the tree, it begins for woodworkers. Commissioned by the cemetery, Daan Simons and I are making objects and furniture from the prunings of this red beech. The works of art will be given a special place in the cemetery. And there's more...During this afternoon, Johan Mullenders will talk about his connection with the tree, while Daan and I will provide insight into our working methods and the significance of wood in our projects. Just as the tree offered comfort and shelter during its existence at the Nieuwe Ooster, we hope that the objects we make from the wood of this beech tree will offer peace, beauty, and perhaps comfort. The objects, some finished, some still in progress, will be exhibited for the first time this afternoon.

Each work has a (small) space to keep or preserve something valuable to the owner (a note, something from a friend or family member who passed away, a pebble from a vacation). This is a means to ‘charge’ the object in your own specific way. In the exhibition you can see different objects, we hope they may provide comfort, contemplation, silence or wonder. Just like the beech tree did when it stood firm and tall as a beacon to many. a poem, by Daniel Brandsema, esprecially for this project (in Dutch): Bewaar Leg je handen op tafel.Raak me, haal meuit elkaar en maak meopnieuw: een gebaar van toekomst, herinnering.Als een foto of geur.Vertel me van toen, van daar,aan het water, in het gras. Van toen we nog groeiden,met de wortels nog diep,toen de hemel nog hoog enhet uitzicht nog ver was. Of van hoe, één moment later,het door de takken glipt,de vogels gevlogen,de seizoenen voorbij zijn. Voel hoe huid op hout– eens jij en ik – verdwijnt,hoe tijd en plaats vergaatin waar elk verhaal in hier en nublijft bewaard. https://rubenvdscheer.nl/Blue-wall-sculpture-32-x-14cm Wed, 16 Oct 2024 12:59:12 +0000 rubenvanderscheer https://rubenvdscheer.nl/Blue-wall-sculpture-32-x-14cm <img width="1366" height="2048" width_o="1366" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b74c1cf519c6db530fa291e56739d7b39f3f3cb6b6bc3c367bd76da8cb67db6/DSC01531.jpeg" data-mid="248575633" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b74c1cf519c6db530fa291e56739d7b39f3f3cb6b6bc3c367bd76da8cb67db6/DSC01531.jpeg" /> <img width="1366" height="2048" width_o="1366" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ce03da67fc4a31f134a8b7a4a9188f3f9a5e27df5da236d7d702f0dbae469c3/DSC01535.jpeg" data-mid="248575634" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ce03da67fc4a31f134a8b7a4a9188f3f9a5e27df5da236d7d702f0dbae469c3/DSC01535.jpeg" /> <img width="1366" height="2048" width_o="1366" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/92f7282ced25cf9858d75cc354d9d7b9f8b01f3fe4dc67faa41b1736f1a62e19/DSC01530.jpeg" data-mid="248575632" border="0" data-scale="60" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/92f7282ced25cf9858d75cc354d9d7b9f8b01f3fe4dc67faa41b1736f1a62e19/DSC01530.jpeg" /> <img width="1366" height="2048" width_o="1366" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2bbdef678852ddce62175d7708cb60de108bea8d6a8876cddee290a28072e705/DSC01528.jpeg" data-mid="248575631" border="0" data-scale="84" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2bbdef678852ddce62175d7708cb60de108bea8d6a8876cddee290a28072e705/DSC01528.jpeg" /> object: walsculpture in deep blue (no title)&nbsp;
