‘Land and Water’, Hoorn, 1988
The interplay of land and water has inspired De Wit to a series of works from the very beginning of his career. 'Land and Water' is part of that.

In 1977, De Wit ventures to New York City with photographer Chris Paul Stapels. The visit stimulates De Wit with new motivation. After his return he works with heavier raw materials and massive chunks of steel that must be cut with industrialized cutting torches. In 1988, his fifteen meter long sculpture ‘Land and Water’ makes its appearance. It is a linear sculpture of horizontal elliptical shapes interspersed with vertical ones of bronze plated, cut steel, depicting the ebb and flow of water.

‘Land and Water’ constitute a part of the art route ‘Sculptures along the coast of Hoorn’.
