Tree, Line by Zander Olsen

Absolutely beautiful.

Welsh artist Zander Olsen has an amazing series of photographs titled Tree, Line. Tree trunks are wrapped in a white material that perfectly match the horizon behind them. The result is an unbroken line of the horizon, which is brought out by the trees rather than obscured by them.

From Olsen’s website:

‘This is an ongoing series of constructed photographs rooted in the forest. These works, carried out in Surrey, Hampshire and Wales,involve site specific interventions in the landscape, ‘wrapping’ trees with white material to construct a visual relationship between tree, not-tree and the line of horizon according to the camera’s viewpoint.’
