Dome like sculpture proposal out of recycled wood

by Sen McGlinn + Sonja van Kerkhoff, 2012
The idea so far with the idea of variations for an urban setting, in a city park, and in a rural setting as a place for rest or contemplation.

A dome like structure inspired by the idea of a "pumotomoto" (means both fontanelle and is the name of a type of flute traditionally played over a baby to stimulate receptivity) and the idea of place/space where there is a merging with or receptivity to the spirit/unconscious worlds. Approx 3 x 3 metres, less than 10 sq. metres, with seating at various heights for up to 9 people.
This page will be updated as we develop the work.

Rough idea of the apex of the dome
as seen from below.
