This
- [Ontaard](http://karinvandermolen.nl/?fluxus_portfolio=ontaard) - What lies beneath the clay? The un-earthing of a hill, the scooping, chopping, and scraping away of an ancient layer of sand, sometimes reveals a pyramid, a temple, a dolmen. Sometimes entire forgotten civilizations emerge.

- [Messengers](http://karinvandermolen.nl/?fluxus_portfolio=messengers) - Trees communicate, it turns out. Through their roots but also by means of a refined network in which insects, mushrooms, small animals and the wind play a role.

- [Tired environmental sculpture](http://karinvandermolen.nl/?fluxus_portfolio=tired-environmental-sculpture) - Environmental sculpture usually is not only art made from natural materials, the term also encompasses engagement with the environment, and more specifically the endangered environment. It can turn into art with a message. In this case the park where I would make my piece just got the news that the tiny airstrip at 1 km

- [Les surprises maritimes](http://karinvandermolen.nl/?fluxus_portfolio=les-surprises-maritimes) - Surprises of the ocean can take any form. In this field near the coast I chose the shape of a submarine, coming to the surface rather out of place.

- [The story of water](http://karinvandermolen.nl/?fluxus_portfolio=the-story-of-water) - At the source of the river Livenza tons of water leave the depths of the earth. The soil trembles, the water pushes and sings. It is colourless and at the same time deep jade green. It disappears in a black hole and then returns. It has stories to tell. Chestnut branches, vines and hay.

- [Facing Space](http://karinvandermolen.nl/?fluxus_portfolio=facing-space) - Although space has no borders, beginning or end, we tend to divide it into confined pieces. We erect fences, borders and draw lines on maps. Even the air and the waters cannot escape. In the Luis Gomes Park, Panjim, I collaborated with Sally Kidall to make these spaces visible. We confined spaces to look like

- [winter](http://karinvandermolen.nl/?fluxus_portfolio=winter) - My grandparents, in their youthful enthusiasm, traveled to the young Soviet Union to join the revolution.
