“Tree Huts, an installation by Japanese artist Tadashi Kawamata, seeks to explore the architecture of shelter and the idea of placing what is decidedly a private place, a home, into a public space, Madison Square Park, and encouraging conversation about the meaning of both.”
My husband works in the famous Flatiron Building outside Madison Square Park (near the Shake Shack). I assigned him the mission of snapping a few shots so you can see them.
Watch this nifty video of the project in progress. Here are lots of photos of progress and final. Here’s a blog about the project.
Tree Huts will remain in Madison Square Park through the end of the year. So come for a visit.
Major thanks to NotCot for posting about a poster I made that’s in the Shiny Squirrel shop! And to Holly at Decor8 for mentioning my work next to this incredible illustrator on her blog! So honored.
