of Pine Cone.
Pine Cone rests like on a forest floor, sheltering its seeds. Pine Cone invites the viewer to contemplate the dynamics of the forest, a dynamic that expresses the forest’s complexity and fragility. Through the dynamics of the seed, the work locates within the forest a spirit to respond to the challenges and perils of climate change. By entering the Pine Cone’s shelter and resting on its platform, the viewer embodies the seed, which sits in active contemplation within the interior of the protective cone. Pine Cone initiates a dialogue through art in which the human and nature concur and by which we learn from the seed, which, after a period of quiet contemplation, passes beyond the cone to become at one with the forest. Pine Cone’s bamboo construction forms an eco-shelter that offers one way we might connect with nature and become friends with the forest. If bamboo were used widely in the construction industry, it would significantly help reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Create a proposed shelter in the forest.
