Environmental Art
Writtle College, Essex
The concept behind this artwork was to illustrate the power of nature. Inspired by the felling of a tree in the winter storms the artwork used leaves of Parthenocissus tricuspidata to spiral the trunk. This represented the force of nature wrapping the tree and taking it back down in to the ground.
