Commissioned by the City of Nanaimo for the Oliver Woods Community Centre.
This pieces depicts a Douglas-fir seedling, its roots and the underground network of mycorrhiza fungi that extend from one plant to the next, linking trees and plants together in one co-operative community. It is my intention to suggest the parallels between a healthy forest and a healthy community. Much of what supports, sustains, and vitalizes each of them is held in the unseen networks that function as a co-operative unit; where individual growth is not attained at the detriment of other forms of life.
