Ghost Forest

Ghost Forest is a major art installation of 10 primary rainforest tree stumps which Angela Palmer brought to Europe from a commercially logged forest in Ghana, West Africa. The work is intended to highlight the alarming depletion of the world’s natural resources and in particular the continued rate of deforestation. The installation was exhibited in Trafalgar Square in London; the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen; the Natural History Museum in Oxford; and now, its permanent home, the National Botanic Garden of Wales in Carmarthenshire.
