NORWAY: How to reuse local materials?

The previous owner of Bakkan kept five dog runs with 10–15 dog houses. Bones were found both above and below ground and collected and reused in this sculpture. The bones were first treated with hydrogen peroxide in an attempt to bleach them, and were then assembled around a tree, fastened with plastic cable ties.
