Description

In this community art project the neighborhood wanted to see nature, something that would be in line with the environment. The oak tree, with the jay in it, refers to the history of Waalwijk. Because of the availability of lots of water and oak trees in Waalwijk the leather tanning industry was able to flourish here. This again gave rise to the shoe industry. The jay is the bird most responsible for the distribution of acorns and thus also for the distribution of oak trees.

==========

In dit buurtkunstproject wilde de buurt natuur zien, iets dat zou passen bij de omgeving. De eik, met de gaai erin, verwijst naar de geschiedenis van Waalwijk. Door de aanwezigheid van veel water en eikenbomen in Waalwijk kon de leerlooierij hier floreren. Dit leidde op zijn beurt weer tot de opkomst van de schoenenindustrie. De gaai is de vogel die het meest verantwoordelijk is voor de verspreiding van eikels en daarmee ook voor de verspreiding van eikenbomen.
