Hanging Garden is part of Turner-Yamamoto’s larger Global Tree Project, which encourages community participation in the creation of each sculpture. Local volunteers help the artist to locate and transport a chosen tree for his installation and then participate in its re-planting when the exhibition ends. The living tree must also be watered and looked after throughout the exhibition. The process encourages local residents to actively engage with the land and plants that sustain them. Other Tree Projects have taken place in such far-lung locations as India, Ireland, and Finland, making for a unique and sensitive index of tree species throughout the world.
