Good vid and a good start for a debate..........personally, I find the "art" quite crass and unessasary........wherever we look, we are losing natures gifts........and to try and highlight it, by losing a few more, is deadwood............pardon the pun..........
I thought it would grab my attention, shock me, make a statement. Instead it made me feel sad and disturbed. The sculpture if you can grace 12 upended dead trees in concrete with that title, seemed utterly pointless, tasteless and somehow synonymous with our disdain for nature in its natural form, yes, I thought we really do live in the age of stupid. Its smaller than you might think, the roots light brown in colour
it looks ephemeral and as if it might dissolve away - the concrete resembles a desert. A premonition of the world we are heading for if we dont halt our massive over consumption of the worlds finite resources? Bleak thought or reality check?
that is shocking - shouldnt artists set a trend through his/her vision to make a better world, rather than turning the world upside down to do it.
So glad I did not see this first hand.
Very well put together Tricia.
