Gate and bridge

Park Frankendael, Amsterdam

Commission: A gate and bridge with a transparent park entrance which cannot be climbed over.
Sturdy ovals are punched out of metal plates using a basic mathematical pattern, with variation from dark to light. 
By then pleating the metal, the gate becomes a solid whole and offers passers-by to perceive a constantly changing image.

The gate creates the idea of sunlight through a canopy of foliage and as such provides the park visitor with a hint of what will follow.
