outgrowth

This small earthwork is a simple intervention at the corner of a gallery building found in a rural space in the northern Netherlands. By defining a circle with rudimentary tools and using a shovel to dig out the ground and creating a small 20 cm deep ditch and using this same earth to create a mound around this circle. 

On the inside of the gallery the circle is completed by a section that continues its path made by pouring plaster in the holes made by the earth that was dug out. Through these casts and through the path of the circle, a relationship is made between inside and outside.
