Created from chairs adorned with branches resembling antlers and artificial grass growing on their seats, this work by Fiona Paterson combines the natural and the domestic, the wild and the civilized.
By giving the furniture animal features and situating it in a forest setting, the work invites you to reconsider the human presence in the natural world, not as dominant, but as discreetly integrated, even displaced. Artist: Fiona Paterson

Giant's Fingers, Fred Martin
Highlight • Other
Like the gestures of an invisible giant, they seem to support it, protect it, and offer it a benevolent presence.
This plant-like hand is both an offering that artist Fred Martin wanted to make to the forest and a gift he offers you.
He invites you to realize that each tree, guardian of the woods, deserves attention, care, and gratitude.
