“1 Big Tree, 1000 Little Trees”

8-24-2013

As a part of the Open Canvas initiative, a free outdoor interactive Art Exhibition, sponsored by ABSOLUT Vodka.

“Michael Krouse, owner of the Madrone Art Bar and a major leader in the Divisadero Art Walk, contributed a humorous but thought-provoking installation,  1 Big Tree, 1000 Little Trees, where he installed thousands of the well-known tree-shaped air fresheners (the larger ones he made himself) into a tree that lines the sidewalk. His clever appropriation of the popular object as a universal symbol of the meeting of artificiality and the natural simply but boldly explores the relationships between humans and the urban environment with nature.”
