ArtEZ Crystal Cave

Residency at Artez University of the
Arts. In collaboration with Maria Perez
Lozao and Rein van der Woerd.

Below the hallways of the busy school
with stressed out students and
deadlines, an unseen subterrainean
force is taking shape.
A dripstone cave that is very slowly
growing crystals…

For this residency we made a cave
installation inside of a maintenance
hatch in the hallway of Artez. Borax
liquid drips down onto the stalagmites,
which turns into blue crystal in a matter
of days. The hatch was opened slightly,
so curious people could peek inside.
