ongoing



The Morris Arboretum presents a new site-specific project by artists Margo Mensing and John McQueen that focuses on the dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) grove. Mensing and McQueen, in collaboration with J. Shermeta, KSS Architects, were inspired by the unique history and ecological importance of these magnificent sculptural trees once thought extinct. They have designed an artwork-as-viewing platform for visitors to climb twelve feet into the lower branches of the tree canopy.
