‘Up near the roof all my thoughts are clear’

This project was conceived during a residency organised by Stichting Destination Unknown. The edition of 2021 took place in an old cigar factory in Tegelen.

Fascinated by the strong geometry of the attic, I felt the need to create a scale model of one of the rafters. Using leftover wooden beams which I found in the factory I built the structure from scratch. The wood was sanded and treated with oil. Afterwards, the model was used to make a blueprint, showing the structure in a different form.
