Excluded Nature's Arts From The 58th Venice Biennale: Nature is You Find Her And You'll Find Yourself (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781700973269)

Have you ever felt unappreciated, unseen, or left behind? Nature would always say "yes". She recedes as humans are glued to the internet, an activity which is rapidly taking over the world. In this time of the "me too" movement, if the trees could talk, they would say, "Me, too " I, as a "Jungle Ambassador" and as a "Tree Whisperer", can tell that she wants human connection. She wants to be appreciated beyond the aesthetics of landscapes and her uses as construction material. I perceive trees as artists that can sculpt, draw, paint, inspire and feel. I am always enthralled by the awe of every moment I encounter these artistic imageries. Once again, I was engrossed in the tree-art wonders that lay unnoticed in the mist of the Venice biennales Art Exhibition. Nature never ceases to show that we are all connected. The sun, the moon and the stars are obvious but what about the drawings, paintings and sculptures created in the trees? In this foreign Land, I felt at home because of the trees. It is my desire to have people stop for a moment and pay attention to the environment; to connect themselves to their personal lives.I believe; that "Nature is you; find her and you'll find yourself". I am grateful to be able to see these forms and show them off while sharing my culture through them. As I sets out to find a million tree-art (Agukata-agbaawahu) forms around the world: "The lucyonemilliontree-artproject", this is the first of many books yet to come.May you find joy in my witty but thoughtful thoughts. Lucy Azubuike (Author)Nature Abounds Us, Contains Us, Infuses Us, Liberates Us.Yet you hear expressed in civil society, "trees are servants to me - profit, shelter, food, and therapy from medicinal to visual. I do not see trees: I use trees; I fear trees because they hide my deadly enemies; I remove trees that stifle me and take my space." Are trees art, story tellers and our best friends forever? Longer than man, trees have lived in, throughout and survived mankind's interesting times. Should their art and stories be included, on equal par, with man's civilized, trained visual expressions of Nature? You will see and decide as you walk in this book with Lucy on her Giardini journey revealing, delighting in and pondering on Nature's unseen exhibition of art, stories communicated, in living trees as canvas and sculpture, surrounding but excluded from the halls of selected man-made art exhibited at the 58th Venice Art Biennale, "May You Live in Interesting Times", held from May to November 2019.
