Arch Daily posted this recently. Trees, yes. Okay. I like trees. But I like the fact that there is art ON these trees much more than I like these trees themselves. 

It’s great! I love any kind of art incorporated into nature. Seeing how the two can blend and create a harmony and a rhythm that play wonderfully off of one another is refreshing and inspiring. This installation is in Sweden, a place that I’ve noticed really cares about nature incorporating art. While I was there I was lucky enough to visit Millesgarden another great example of art in landscape (though, much more formally than the art installation pictured above).  

This was the overall site of the garden. We were free to wander around and experience both the sculptures inside the buildings as well as situated around and incorporated into the landscape. Overall, the sculptures outside seemed much more successful, and much more comfortable in the elements. 

As for a little more close to home, one of my favorite places in Boston would be Forest Hills Cemetery. In general it is just a wonderful place, but I also enjoy seeing all of the outside sculpture tucked into the landscape. It literally plays hide and seek (a game, as I’ve mentioned a few times now, I adore). I’ve been there at least three times since Sophomore year. And now that I’m making this post, I’d like to go back just to take some pictures of the art installations that I love so much. Here are some examples of my favorites (click on the image for more info): 

Another place that I’ve been wanting to visit is the Storm King Art Center in New York. It’s another sculpture garden of sorts. It’s absolutely absurd that I haven’t been there. I live less than an hour away. Talk about get with the program. Laaaaaame. Maybe I can stow away sometime this fall for an educational little trip (the ideal world). Anyway, I’d really like to see it there. I’ll add it to my “To Do” List along with picking apples.
