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

Wishing everyone peaceful and happy holidays! Thank you so much for following along for what has been an incredible year (I'll reflect more on 2024 in another post). For now, here are 4 new winter images from Scotland's Ancient Caledonian Forest. Enjoy 😀

Been going on a lot of camera-less walks recently. On those, if I see something pretty, the phone has to suffice. Here's four shots from three walks (top and bottom left were taken today).
