The Urban Forest Project is a series of unprecedented outdoor exhibitions taking root in cities around the world. This unique environmental, public arts and educational initiative calls on artists, designers and students in each location to employ the idea or form of the tree to make a powerful visual statement on banners that are displayed throughout the community. I was honored to be a part of the Baltimore series.
I created a tree for the Forest Project, with the trunk made up of the names of Baltimore neighborhoods, and the leaves were made out of maps of different areas. To further donations to the project, they made shirts, posters, and tote bags. My dad surprised me for Christmas with purchasing mine, such a cool reminder of a great project.
