Dordrecht

The plan was to have willows, making up the circle, grow together, slowly making the interior inaccessible. They did grow in the years after 1972 but it never got that far because after six years the museum phoned Lucien den Arend one day that they had them cut down the previous day. The series of photographs shown here were the only ones taken (summer and fall 1972).
