"El Bosque/The Forest"

Forest Conservation Project

Concerned about global deforestation, and the potential disappearance of her beloved wood, Naomi Siegmann decided to do something about raising awareness of this controversial subject.  The result is El Bosque/The Forest Project.   Fifteen artists (including Siegmann) from both the United States and Mexico were invited to create trees out of any material EXCEPT wood.  The purpose is to invite viewers to contemplate a world without trees.  Many luminaries of the sculpture world heeded Naomi's call.   Below is the list of participating artists:
