The Paleozoic Forest of Jewels

By Arabel Lebrusan 2024

Installation made with two rusty wheelbarrows, filled with traditional house coal. One features a lifesize golden rose and the other a lifesize small black canary bird with golden feet and a coal body, resting on a pile of rusting bits of metal picked up at an abandoned coal mine in South Wales.
