Can't see the trees for the forest

I spent one month as artist in residence & workshop leader at the ‘Comma’ community arts Project. I spent the time engaging the community in an environmentally aware project and had amost daily drop in workshops for them to make a forest of paper trees constructed from recycled books taking the material back to its origin and depicting the shapes of some of our native trees. Throughout the month the forest steadily grew and became a large hanging installation. On the open evening at the end of my residency I caused deforestation and replaced the indigenous trees with a forest of spruce trees for the evening.
