I find these bones on the beaches, thrown in the sand after bbq’s, cleaned by the salty water and the sun. Look what happens when you saw them in slices!

This piece I made for an exhibition on the occasion of the inauguration of the Dutch king. Orange because that is the color of the Dutch royalties.

during his reign,
in organic interaction
with the people.
