"A Forest" celebrates the essence of Vermont’s natural beauty through a harmonious blend of carved wooden panels and etched mirrored glass. This artwork reimagines Maple, Apple, Birch, a previous installation created by the artists for Burlington International Airport in 2001.
The new piece transforms the original wooden elements into a striking composition that evokes the tranquility of a forest pathway. Interwoven textures and patterns suggest light filtering through leaves, branches mingling overhead, and the play of shadows on the ground, capturing the spirit of Vermont's landscapes.
Commissioned by Burlington International Airport and Burlington City Arts, A Forest enhances its surroundings by merging natural inspiration with architectural elegance, offering travelers a serene moment of reflection amid their journey.
