The Blue Trees, a socially-driven art action, was created and conceived by Australian artist Konstantin Dimopoulos to inspire awareness and discussion about global deforestation. For the project's Northwest debut, 16 existing Honey Locust trees in Seattle's Westlake Park and 40 newly planted Jacquemontii Birch trees along the Burke-Gilman Trail in Kenmore are being temporarily transformed using environmentally safe, water-based pigment. An ephemeral work, they will gradually revert back to their natural state.
