15 April 2016 – 14 April 2017 Open by 8am daily
Artist Andrea Roe reveals the unseen communication between trees in the artwork, Sentient Forest, a temporary commission by the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail in collaboration with Forestry Commission England.
Sentient Forest seeks to reveal secrets hidden in the forest. Roe’s commission brings the Trail into the 21st century with a technological artwork that utilises LEDs and sensors to create an interactive piece that responds to the presence of viewers. The new work is part of a series of new commissions for the Trail that will be revealed over the coming year, which includes the recently unveiled artwork by Onya McCausland.
