Site 18: Viewlands Group Seattle, Washington Landscape Intervention 2012 The art committee at newly re-opened Viewlands Elementary, which lies adjacent to Carkeek Park in the southeast corner, has created a "landscape intervention" in the invasive patch of blackberries behind the school. Several trees had become completely surrounded by the blackberries and "lost." Working as a collaborative team, the art committee (David Francis, Natalie Hamil, Lisa Escobar) have directed approximately 150 students (every student in the school, K-5, that takes art class once or twice a week) in the creation of a temporary access trail through the blackberries to the trees, a distance of 25'. after clearing the trees from the thorns, sheets of mylar were used to wrap the lower trunk and upper branches in order to enhance the sculptural quality of the rescued trees. Final details of the mylar forms (such as the extent of the tree-wrapping; the addition of an arc composed of de-thorned cane wrapped in mylar, etc.) were determined by the children, as well as other unanticipated elements. We expect that over the 4 month display period, Rubus armeniacus may continue to sprout in the path, and after de-install, it is likely that the blackberries will once more overwhelm the trees and conceal them from view. Statement: In lieu of an artist statement, we propose using selected children's own interpretations of the eco-art process that they will be actively exploring. Our intervention in the landscape, while not producing an 'object,’ will offer an important idea of what constitutes a work of art. We believe the children will also imagine what a sense of place means: a clearing in the chaos, where a tree is once again brought into reach only to fade back into the thorns by the time they've reached the third grade.
