This concept is really effective as it increased my focus on the tree.

Marcos - The first time I saw this work, I thought that the artist had made an enormous enlargement of a photo of a tree, and that he was showing the print in the open air.
When I read what he was really doing, my mind started doing flip flops, trying to get the text and the context to stay put!

(I didn’t see the pictures of the cherry pickers until later in the slide show on the site.)

There are some wonderfully imaginative artists from Korea who are now getting promoted globally by their galleries.

What a great concept to isolate one single element out of a natural landscape, such a weird effect achieved with only one little move.

Oooh! It sounds as if we have a mini zeitgeist going on here.

Wow. I’ve just seen Tacita Dean’s ‘Majesty’ and ‘Crowhurst’ - photographs of ancient trees on which she has overpainted the BG with white gouache. This is yet another approach.
