Born from urban salvage, the Creatures Collection is an invitation to experience wonder and inquisitively engage with the unfamiliar.
The trees that become Creatures are not of the wild, but rather, they are curated within our urban landscapes. Unlike in the forest, urban trees gain their value from their service to us. They are forced to accommodate people through unyielding interventions until they are deemed unsafe or unwanted.
These trees adversely push back with resilient growth in defiance of what urbanites want. In their second life as a Creature, the trees are allowed to once again become wild with their imposing and otherworldly presence. They provide us with an opportunity to reshape our curiosity and forge a connection with the extraordinary and the unusual. #archidaily#architecture _hunter #architecturedesign#architecture#landscapearchitecture#landscapedesign#sustainableart#locallysourced#artgallery#artoftheday#donotcomply#artdiscover#art _viral #art _we_inspire #artfinder#courageouscreative#instaart#creativeartiststudio#vancouver#bebold#makeastatement
Thrilled to share the journey of creating these Sentinels over the past few months. They've found their forever home at UBC, where they'll stand as gentle guardians, keeping watch over the community for years to come.
