Self Isolating in Trees
participatory projects
Self Isolating in Trees was a self-led artwork whereby, on my daily walk during COVID lock downs, I found a tree to climb and sit in it’s branches as a form of relaxation, pleasure and self-care, as well as temporary escape from home.
The process was documented through filming my view in the tree for 20 seconds, taking a photo of the tree and plotting it as a dropped pin on a public Google map.
The project is documented in a virtual interactive zine, and I have developed a guide for others to join in. To this end I am proposing a participatory project, but one which is individually-led and done in isolation - during and post-virus.

The piece is exhibited in online exhibition After the Pandemic - Visions of Radical Renewal by Swarm Dynamics.
