Installation Shots for Aviva Rahmani's "Coda: Blued Trees"

Entrance

Detail: Blued Branch with Fungus




Long View: The banners hung ghost-like just above the floor.
5 tree limbs were directly on the wall 
Wire suspended the blue tree limbs from the ceiling, seemingly tenuously.

Projected shadows visually connected the phrases on the banners. 
Banners created by Brynn Busher Four Design Student @ Virginia Tech used text from the legal framework Aviva Rahmani developed with her legal team for The Blued Trees Symphony.


Each branch came from the Appalachian forests and had fallen off of trees. They were each individually selected because of their simple yet beautiful forms.  

The  paint was created with ultramarine blue pigment and thick, creamy buttermilk . Added lavender oil helped the sulphur-based pigment to smell a bit sweeter.



1810 Patrons visited this exhibit November 8 - December 17, 2016
