Pixel Village 2

This artwork was inspired by sculptor, installation and performance artist Konstantin Dimopoulos who was commissioned by The Currier Museum of Art to create an environmental installation. The artist temporarily transformed nearly 100 trees on the Currier campus and in neighboring Pulaski Park and Victory Park, by coloring them with an environmentally safe pigment in a beautiful shade of blue. The biologically-safe colorant will slowly wash from the trees, and they will eventually return to their natural state. This art project was intended grow the importance of trees in our local urban environment and raise awareness of other areas around the globe where rampant deforestation threatens our entire planet. I found it inspiring and therefore I came up with my own version of the project. Hope you like it :)
