About this artwork
Distinctive abstract within my series about connecting to the stars and the ground. An open basket motiv, a subtle stone wall motiv, with a binding ring to connect the two. I describe why and how I use the basket in the video reel. For me a fire basket here symbolizes fire and flames in the night. The red marble with its many surprising tones, may attract many eyes and quietness.

Credentials
- Featured artist
- Works on commission
Willem Koot (1948) in his studio in Almere near Amsterdam, works primarily in stone and bronze. The bronzes are made and finished by a renowned foundry, Atelier80.
His pieces are displayed in many regional exhibitions, local art fairs and his own sculpture garden. After clay miniatures with dreams driving what he sees, he is fascinated by choosing many marble types for the glistening, specific reflection, special fragment potentials. He employs a distinctive abstract language featuring irregular circles, architectural arches, and basket- or wing-like motifs. His sculptures powerfully express themes of struggle, vulnerability, and the search for meaning, inviting viewers to reflection and to tranquil introspection. "Transforming the chaos, struggle and quiet peace of human existence into stone and colored bronze through my dreams, that is a constant source of inspiration and challenge."
