Curator and exhibiting artist Kassandra Bossell
The Tree Veneration Society is a group of creatives who love trees, their regenerative power and their symbiotic relationships with earth systems. They join with contemporary scientists, other artists, thinkers, philosophers and indigenous peoples of the world to change the way we value and respect all sentient beings, both zoological and vegetal on our beautiful planet, with particular emphasis on the tree.
Works in the exhibition reflect the artists’ individual responses to the contemporary condition of the natural world, especially trees and their ecosystems, and includes photographs, sculpture, film, painting, drawing and installation.
