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.

A Dream Catcher

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

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!
