Associate Professor Jennifer Fuchel showed her installation Sept 1- Nov 1, 2019 in the Hapgood-Wright Town Forest of Concord Mass. The work was cut out and etched in mirrored Plexiglass. This year the call from The Concord Art Umbrella Art Ramble 2019 was Witnessing Change.

Artist Statement: Witnessing can be more than passive, detached observation, but active engagement that connects the observer with the observed in profound ways. This art installation reflects upon both the witnessing of nature and the nature of witnessing.
Etched on the mirror on the ground is the tree cross-section used by climatologist Michael Mann to chart a thousand years of temperature changes during the tree’s lifespan, providing strong evidence for human-caused warming. Visitors are invited to lean over the mirror, where they can see both themselves and the canopy of trees above them, linking them together and suggesting their interconnection. Peering down to look up, people will see trees from a different angle and, perhaps, in a new light. Let us reflect on the impact we have upon these ancient beings who are watching over us and our responsibility to watch over them by protecting and preserving the world’s forests.”
