![]() Site 10: Richard Metz Erdenheim, Pennsylvania http://www.mistermetz.com/ "Tree Creatures" My installation for the Heaven and Earth show is an ephemeral installation of creatures painted on trees in two coordinated areas. The creatures are based on and celebrate several sources: the animals and plants of the Northwest woods, the bark patterns of the native trees they are painted on, and some of the stories and legends about the forests of Washington State. These painted creatures cannot live indoors, but need to take their place in the woodlands. The goal of the project is to make visible in the landscape hidden magical and fantastic creatures, inspired in some cases by some of the stories of the Northwest coast wilderness. The actual paint is made from eggs mixed non toxic natural pigments such as spices like Turmeric, Paprika, and Saffron, plants like Indigo, Madder, and Sandalwood, and rocks like Calcite, charcoal, ochres, ores, and earths. |
