The Frequency of Trees

Abstract

This is a book published by the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) which has an introduction written by John Newling, a pioneer of public art with a social purpose. The Frequency of Trees is an interactive sculpture which translates abstract sound and frequencies into engaging encounters with participants. The artwork is part of the YSP Open Air Collection and aims to shift how people think about their relationships to their own physicality and movements in nature specific to the YSP Parkland. The book discusses these relationships, as it follows the seasons at the park and four of the trees which the artist tracked and gathered data from in order to make The Frequency of Trees.
