Here is a link for an artist residency I think is relevant to my work. The artist, Spencer Byles spent a year in a French forest (near his hometown) creating sculptures using natural and found materials. He used elements of the surroundings to create temporary pieces of work that would blend with the environment and could be reclaimed by nature.
The work is secretive and can only be found by visiting the woods in person and discovering the work.
I find this idea of only using organic materials that won’t harm the natural environment an interesting idea, nature is a powerful force, and should be able to reclaim what it originally owned.
This work reminds me of my own forest installation pieces, perhaps next time I will use natural materials that can be left in the forest. I am interested in the idea of doing my own mini residency in the local forest.
