Working from a deep & ever-growing knowledge of trees, Nash was a pioneer in the aesthetics of & Ocirc;& Ccedil;£growing& Ocirc;& Ccedil;& Oslash; & & Ocirc;& Ccedil;£going& Ocirc;& Ccedil;& Oslash; works that are made with the intention that over time they will merge again with nature. This lavishly illustrated book features a substantial biographical & critical introduction by the distinguished art historian & critic Norbert Lynton, who knew & championed the sculptors work from the late 1960s. The artists own extensive statements provide a unique insight into both his working methods & the thought processes provoked by this extraordinary collaboration with trees.
