Articulating the interrelationship of built and natural environments, The streets, our brushes is a homage to the street tree and community campaigns for more inner-city green space. The tree is absent. Instead structures referencing a tree protector and grate, and objects made from wool coloured with birch and oak dye, sit on a wooden pavement or ‘parquet rug’.
The streets, our brushes was made with thanks to James Healy Ltd. It was funded by an Arts Council Project Award 2018 and developed during a Dublin City Council Residential Residency supported by Galway City Council.
The streets, our brushes was acquired for the Arts Council collection in 2019.
