New York based artist and designer Nicholas Croft<\/strong> collaborated with Michaela MacLeod<\/strong> of\u00a0POLYM\u00c9TIS to create a colourful outdoor installation as part of the 2013\u00a0Jardins de M\u00e9tis International Garden Festival<\/a> in Quebec, Canada. Based on a traditional tree wrapping technique, the artists utilized 1-inch thick fluorescent pink latex rope that was wrapped around the trunk. The rope was wrapped around the trunk from a height of 10 feet to the base and was continued onto the earth to form circular sitting areas. Similar to\u00a0artist and photographer\u00a0Olsen Zander’s project\u00a0‘Tree, Line’<\/a>, what really makes this project a super hit is the\u00a0<\/strong>striking ‘Pink Punch’<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“A patch of fluorescent colour, standing against the natural browns and greens of its context, draws visitors off the beaten path to a room in the forest, where a small cluster of trees are wrapped at their bases to become a pink-scape of communal seating.”<\/p>\n
