Visit to Pitt Rivers museum



Ghost Forest is a major art installation of 10 primary rainforest tree stumps which were brought to Europe from a commercially logged forest in Western Africa by the artist Angela Palmer The idea, says the artist, is to 'present a series of rainforest tree stumps as a "ghost forest" – using the negative space created by the missing trunks as a metaphor for climate change, the absence representing the removal of the world's "lungs" through continued deforestation'
