Site Responsive Artwork
forest letter
I am going to use this blog to chart my Site- responsive Artwork in Witherdon Wood, near my home in Launceston. This work relates to the environment and creates an ongoing dialogue. At the moment this is in the form of scrolls or letters that are rolled into bark cases found in the wood from the current logging operations. These letters are transient and disintegrate over time. They are nibbled (I think by squirrels or slugs!) and etched by the rain. The audience are loggers, the forestry commission wardens, dog walkers and other visitors to the woods who may find them in the spirit of a message in a bottle. They rely on the chance encounter. I like this hidden element. These are barely there interventions.
