Welcome!
"Sway- the scattered forest of ancient trees: About a year go I started on a new project about trees that have been around for several thousand years. I had come to a point in my work with environmental issues where I wanted to engage in something positive and less gloomy than reports on climate change and found that really old trees could provide an interesting starting point for a discussion on resilience, sustainability and environment. On Wednesday, I will show some of this work, the bulk of which still is in progress; and also talk a little about alternate models of financing an art project and the artist as a tourist."
