Next week I return to the Kielderhead Wildwood, where I worked as an artist five years ago.

The wildwood is a large area at the Scottish-English border where 39,000 native trees were planted by the local community from 2017-2022, to make a future landscape where there once was once commercial forestry. I made work about the interconnections between humans, trees, fungi and technologies.

Trees that were up to my waist back in 2020 have grown taller than me. shanefinan.org/VAP/10_woodwide… #art #forest

It makes me think of a Diana Beresford Kroeger interview where she was asked whether we can do things that are quicker than tree planting to help the environment. She answered passionately and rapidly (I paraphrase): trees grow quickly. Just don't talk about it — put them in the ground and they'll grow.
