“Coastal Trees” by Emma Barone

“Coastal Trees” is a project which aims to deliver a series of site specific tree paintings. I have long been fascinated by the shape trees adopt on the West Coast of Ireland. This shape, or form, presents as a distinctive windblown profile, one that is sculpted by the elements. The proximity of the Atlantic Ocean is a major determining factor in terms of influencing and moulding the shape of the trees.
