Ship-to-Shore Interface (Wal/Schip interface)

Jeroen Doorenweerd

About this artwork.

To create Ship-to-Shore Interface, Jeroen Doorenweerd started off with the carcass of an old 1926 eel-fishing boat By doing so, he joined the “cradle-to-cradle” movement: a refreshed vision of sustainable design, repurposing old items into something new for the modern day The artist was also inspired by the work of Louis le Roy, who works with waste materials from other peoples’ projects, and designed nature gardens on this principle in Lewenborg and elsewhere. 

Doorenweerd stripped the boat right back and then sprayed it all one colour. He turned the stern of the boat into a kind of tail fin, elegantly connecting the ship to the shore. Doorenweerd’s piece is a quirky meeting spot for anyone and everyone.

His art usually starts off with precision-made wooden items – explaining his predilection for wood and carpentry is down to him coming from a long line of boatmen and carpenters – his father was a bargeman.
