CANOPY – 24 Ideas about Trees
An immersive sound installation by Lorna Rees Company: a seed/sound-pod trail through nature inspiring hope, joy and provoking thought. Artist Lorna Rees collaborated with over 500 people to develop the piece, working with ecologists, writers, musicians, artists and young people. CANOPY celebrates the connection between humans and trees.
Alice performed the role of CANOPY Caretaker, working alongside Lorna and team to welcome visitors to the installation at Moors Valley Country Park as part of Inside Out Dorset Festival, 2025, an award-winning, free international outdoor arts festival that takes place in Dorset every two years.
