'Tree Monitor' at the #londontreefestival counts the amount of CO2, pollution and storm water collected by London's trees since midnight.

'He who plants a tree' and 'Tree Monitor' at the Urban Tree Festival art exhibition. 'He who plants a tree' is from a 19th century poem by Lucy Larcom. The tree monitor counts how much carbon has been sequestered by London's trees since midnight, as well as pollution absorbed and rainwater diverted from storm drains. #londontreefestival

I have had a couple of pieces accepted for the Urban Tree Festival exhibition. Come and have a look! #urbantreefestival

RICH MAYNARD LUNAR DOME A SCULPTURE FOR WINTER MOONS Our Curated Abode About the artwork The Same Moon functions as a meditation on universal connection, drawing inspiration from the shared human experience of gazing up at the same night sky. My practice aims to blend the technical precision of engineering - manifested in the geodesic structure and LED lighting that simulates lunar phases - with rich, cross-cultural mythology. The sculpture transcends a mere physical object to become an illuminated beacon. It actively invites the audience into a dialogue about shared heritage, from Diwali to the Lunar New Year, symbolising the profound truth that “what unites us is far greater than what divides us,” ultimately fostering joy, wonder and a collective sense of welcome and homecoming About the artist Rich is a multi-skilled artist, designer, engineer and blacksmith who works on a vast variety of projects, from public art commissions to repairing household items. Lighting design is a new and exciting area he is exploring and enjoying! #lightupramsgate #ramsgatewinterfestival #joywondermagic #thanetcreatives #creativeramsgate #visitramsgate #lighttrail #lightart #lunardome #wintermoon @muchhadhamforge @ourcuratedabode @ramsgate.winter.festival @ramsgatetown
