With Trees (2015) is a work in progress, a series of ongoing silent "conversations" with trees.
I conceived this project in 2013, and in 2014 I started working with the artist Laura Burns, who expanded the premises of the project. Together we aim to trigger interest in creative processes and art making procedures that involve human and non-human interaction. We believe that the environmental crisis we are confronted with requires a re-thinking of the values and cultural boundaries inherited from the past and of the methods from which we gather our understanding of the world.
Since the 24th of April 2015 we met the Platanus Hispanic tree of Brunswick Park in London on a weekly basis, gathering material and working with this material in a studio space. We plan to use this material for several performative outputs.
