Installation, 2011
for the KØS Museum of Art in Public Spaces, Denmark
White trunk protection paint
Sponsoring: Flügel GmbH
The paint will adhere to the trunk for 5 – 8 years and the patterns will grow and tangle with the tree and take on a patina of moss and fine cracks.
Street art connects with baroque garden culture.
The work addresses themes related to the domestication of nature and asks the question: what is natural, what is artificial? How much "untouched" nature still surrounds us and how much of what we perceive to be "natural" is in fact designed, cultivated and trimmed by humans?
