In no other way do we so publicly and
graphically declare our attitudes and
intentions towards nature than in our
habit of marking trees.

Marking Time is an exhibition of 425 photographs of painted marks on trees documented
between 1992 and 2004 in Scotland, England, Germany, Belgium, Estonia, Lithuania, Spain, France , Denmark ,
Australia and New Zealand.
Mostly the marks signify the intentions of people for purposes of medication, correction, protection,
destruction or convenience, but increasingly trees also carry social and territorial graffiti.
This project visually intrigues by drawing attention to a largely unnoticed practice, but it also
leads into the vital contemporary debate about our relationship with the natural world.
