Genesis, Liggend teken / Genesis, Sign in Recline, Norman Dilworth (1993)

This sculpture was purchased at the 1993 art festival ‘Beelden op de Berg’ in Wageningen. The sculpture was originally located on the lawn across from the Boeslaan until March 1998, after which it was relocated to the entrance of Wageningen Plant Sciences Experimental Station at Voorburglaan 5.

This steel sculpture has angular horizontal and vertical features and is self-supporting.

Nature was an influential driving force behind the work of Norman Dilworth (Wigan, England, 1931- ). As he wrote in the catalogue for the ‘Beelden op de Berg’ exhibition: “Here at Wageningen, the analogy my work makes with natural development is easily seen and in the way that the sculpture, once the ground rules have been laid down, is allowed to generate itself.” The steel sculpture is now located on the east lawn of the Atlas building.
