‘Bark Portraits’ is an artistic research about the outmost layer of trees and our perception of this layer. Is bark really as static as you think?

A big part of the tree’s life takes place on this outer layer; the life of other organisms but also the aging of the tree itself. There is a lot of information you can get from the bark of a tree. You could see this layer as a fingerprint. Every tree has its own identity and thus his identical bark. A bark which changes and renews over time. Bark is alive.
