Sculptor Sauli Miettunen’s Tree Art

Wish I could say you can find this sweet environmental art, somewhere off a lonely Gunflint Trail portage. I can’t though; it was done in Finland. But I can tell you that: 1) It rocks, and 2) Sculptor Sauli Miettunen made it.

The works have memories of and references to nature: animal vertebrae, trees and gardens, but above all, Miettunen’s sculpture includes man’s visit to and his tracks in nature. Man has left his mark in nature and nature is no longer an idyllic haven. Nature, however, can be a refuge, or even a work place[…]

His site has lots of museum pieces, but the outdoors/environmental art stuff (like this one and also this,) is definitely must-see material. Awesome! Via NotCot.
