Artwork
From sandstones, tree trunks and branches, found and collected on and around the Abbey Hill, several sculptures representing spades and rakes were created. Their size varies from very large to very small and they blend into the landscape.
The observer encounters these objects as if by chance. They are typical tools, as if from the active days of gardening, carelessly left standing and lying around.
Memories of horticulture and agriculture are thus awakened in passers-by and their own references can be made.
