Mothers of the Forest
A light installation of two giant abstract baobab trees
Mothers of the Forest takes its name and shape from the Grandidier’s Baobab tree, a strange and majestic native of Madagascar. The trees have long provided, from food and medicine to rope and thatch – some say they are a dwelling place for spirits. Now critically endangered, the trees stand as a reminder of our fragile relationship with home.
Mothers of the Forest is a bold commission for Culture Creative, which debuted at Christmas at Bedgebury, 19 November 2021 – 2 January 2022.
