Impossibly fragile, the hand crafted tissue paper bags contain chunks of locally harvested wood, ash, oak and larch, donated to the artist. Originally destined for firewood their cut surfaces have been brushed with a liquid metallic gold paint, before each piece is balanced and placed within its own paper bag.
Due to Covid 19 social distancing regulations, the installation cannot be accessible to the public at this time, so
between Monday 20th April and Saturday 25th April 2020 a short film of the installation will be added to this website daily and via the Hive's website
As part of the project you are invited to contribute to a Forest Map, by forwarding a short piece of writing of of any personal reflections, anecdotes and experiences relating to trees. A selection of contributions will be included in the exhibition at a later date, once restrictions are lifted.
