"Take Off", 2024, 5 x 5 x 8,5 meters, aluminium, gavanized steel and plexiglass.

Viewingpoint for the neigbourhood Schuygraaf in Arnhem-South. The work is situated on a hill in the centre of the neighbourhood from which you can look towards all directions. The people who live there, concist mostly of families with young children. I wanted the work to be something which young people can relate to and I wanted it to be a work, closely related to others works of mine and my artistic language. In many works over the years, one can see elements and associations with spacecrafts appearing within my work. And also the round windows and the coloured glass will make it a work which will fit into Voermans body of work well. 

On the top of the roof a red light starts blinking for 4 hours after sunset. A solar-panel and battery is providing the light with electricity.

The work was commissioned by Stichting Productiehuis Plaatsmaken.                               The Arnhem municipality, the Mondriaanfoundation and BPD Cultuurfonds financially contributed to the project.
