FORESTS NOT YET HERE: AN EXERCISE IN ARBOREAL TIME 

Guided walk at Queens Botanical Gardens, 2018

A guided walk at the Queen Botanical Gardens (New Work) as part of the STEP exhibition at Queens Museum (with Flux Factory), which explored human-tree (or pre-human-tree) relationships across different scales of time from the present moment to deep geological time into the unknown future, a reminder that we live in species bodies that are deeply entangled with the fate of the planet.
