Ever Falling Forest
This work was created as part of a S*Park (Sustainability Park) Artist Residency (2020). SPark is a sustainable living community in Downtown Denver.
The work is situated in a tall atrium that is partially exposed to the outdoors. Secured from an iron ring at the top, the majority of the work is hand-cut, with small amounts of laser-cut fringes. Around the inside is painted a flock of white doves. As the wind circulates through the atrium, the work gently sways, displaying playful shadows that mimic a forest.
The work is a meditation on the fragility of our global forest network, and the complex web of life that exists therein.
