Site 13: Suze Woolf Seattle, Washington Tree Futures 2012 There is probably as much artwork about trees as there are trees. But many trees meet fates less frequently portrayed: logged and shipped to other markets, burned and lost to the use of humans and other species, cut down for agriculture and development, milled and turned into functional products, and so on. Tree Futures invites thinking about the significance of the transformation of trees to wood. This is important: global forests are carbon sinks, rich nations pay poor ones to retain forests, and counties in Washington State still depend on timber sales to fund education and public safety. In our community Carkeek Park is an island of forest in an urban setting, and it represents immense volunteer progress combating invasive species and building trails -- human respect and protection of trees and forests. These wrapped trees stand for what trees anywhere could become. Bio: I have been drawing all my life. After an initial undergraduate degree at McGill University, I pursued fifth-year studies in printmaking and ceramics at the University of Washington. My previous professional careers have included the graphic design of printed materials, interface designs for commercial software and managing the creation of prototype hardware/software environments. I have devoted the last five years to painting, winning awards in local and regional competitions, exhibits in public facilities, private commissions, and artist/curator and juror roles. Some relevant examples are a solo exhibit at the State Dept of Ecology (“Burnscapes”) and the group exhibit “Unveiling Climate Change” there; the Whatcom Museum’s "Fate of the Forest"; and the American Society of Meteorology’s “Forecast: Communicating Climate and Weather” at the Washington State Trade & Convention Center. Artist residencies at the Vermont Studio Center (October 2008) and the Banff Centre (November-December 2011) have further expanded my horizons. I completed the Artist Trust EDGE program in 2010. In September-October 2012 I will be Artist in Residence at Zion National Park. My recent residency at Banff helped me deepen my burnscape series, as has curating an upcoming exhibit at Longview College (“Signifying Wood”, summer 2013). Challenged to go beyond a wall-hung rectangle, I strive to make the process part of the meaning. Painting larger-than-life sections of burned trees prompted me to bring the paintings out into the woods to wrap them around live trees. I make drawings of burned forests using soldering irons and woodburning tools. I combine traditional landscape painting with pyrography. I am learning mold-making and paper-casting to create sculptures using burned wood pulp to integrate into landscape paintings.
