Aviva Rahmani's Site Specific Installation: Coda: Blued Trees

Branches awaiting installation.


Coda: Blued Trees is a site specific art installation created by ecological artist Aviva Rahmani. 


Aviva Rahmani's installation concept

It is based on her work on The Blued Trees Symphony which uses copyrighted artwork, trees painted with a non-toxic buttermilk slurry, to protect landowners from private corporations using eminent domain for private gain. The basis of the legal framework is based on the Visual Arts Rights Act.
