The municipality of the coast city Middelkerke came up with a fantastic initiative: an artistic journey through the Flemish coast area. Geert Pattyn was asked to design 6 Land-Art creations for this project.

Artistic Journey Through the Flemish Coastal Area

  Geert is a master in using natural materials to create grandiose creations that add value to the environment. Land-Art plays with elements from nature and makes you look at nature in a completely different way! The 6 projects are to be visited until the end of September 2021.

Cocoons

  Just like the weaver birds high up in the trees make an artful and roofed nest for their young, so creates Geert Pattyn natural cocoons as a symbol for the current cocooning trend  

Place: Rattevallestraat Mannekensvere  

Discover the Artworks by Bike

You can also discover these works by bike. Middelkerke has designed a special bicycle route of 32 km, especially for this purpose. So if you like cycling, you can make a nice day trip. If you are not a bicyclist you can also explore the works by car or on foot!
