Leaves Among Thorns – Stirling
A colourful forest of revolving trees, presenting tales of the Brothers Grimm.
Leaves Among Thorns – Presented at the MacRobert Arts Centre, Stirling.
The colourful walk-through installation consisted of a woodland wander through a forest of revolving trees with a continuously changing collage of images inspired by the resonant stories of the Brothers Grimm. First launched in 1994, each tree depicted a different tale in a playful and surprising way.
