CATALPA
Location: St-Michelsgestel
Exhibition: Landsporen
Date: September – November 2007
Forests, maize fields, open pastures and a huge solitary oak: Northern Brabant’s landscape in a nutshell. Frank Bruggeman puts an exotic tree called ‘Catalpa’ right in the heart of this natural beauty. The Catalpa is originally from East Asia and nowadays very popular in Dutch gardens, however cultivated and bulb-shaped. With one difference, namely that Bruggeman’s Catalpa will grow into an overgrown specimen.
