Last Week to See A Forest for the Trees

by Mary Jo on December 26th, 2007

If you’re looking for a respite from the holiday crazies, wander through A Forest for the Trees is in its final week at the Henry Art Gallery.

The exhibit of photographs, from the gallery’s permanent collection, focuses on one single subject matter — trees — and our city’s relationship with them.  It was amazing how one simple and uncomplicated subject could evoke such diversity in presentation and subject matter. 

While it’s a relaxing walk through the exhibit, I never realized that trees could be this controversial.
