Simply an idealised landscape designed to evoke thoughts of childhood, playing in the woods, in treehouses, and on swings. Most interesting for me was seeing how the lighting under the canopy of the trees would differ from the outlying fields. Hiding small details creates completely different views; these varying views are visible only from certain points. Observe, for example, the ladder up to the treehouse hidden behind one of the tree trunks. The only way to see the ladder is through a gap in the trees on the opposite side of the piece. This piece raises issues of ownership, land segregation, and re-purposing.
