We Are Forest, 2023
reclaimed wood desk, wood chair, wood bookshelf, books about trees, wood pencils, and seed paper postcards 

 

Part of a larger exhibition of nine installations at No. 9 Gardens entitled With the Land, We Are Forest was in interdisciplinary and interactive temporary public art installation that invited visitors to take some quiet time to sit down and write a letter to or on behalf of trees on handmade seed-paper while sitting below a majestic Oak tree. Inscribed with a poem on the top, the wood installation worked to make material connections between human and more-than-human worlds.

​

This exhibition was co-presented by Agnes Etherington Art Centre and No.9 and curated by Sunny Kerr, Curator of Contemporary Art at Agnes.
