In the forests surrounding the Neva Bridgehead area in Russia the trees carry a deep scar of history. All through the forests are the remnants of war.

Davis uses centuries of humans’ relationship with nature and the unknown to inspire her work. She takes influence from naturalists and scientists of the modern age, as well as fairy tale heroes and mythical creatures of ancient times. In her pieces, the forests swirl with smoke, open into mysterious passageways, and twinkle with stars. Each of her collections expand on a specific theme of exploration, alienation, and connection.

Between the Trees

The Between the Trees series looks at the pockets of space in a forest (which is described in a poem as “the space between its trees”). It uses smoke to make those spaces appear more evident.

Come With Me

In this series, Davis used various materials to make meandering pathways through the woods. She used pigments, paper, and natural and artificial materials for the various paths. The series explores the concepts of mapping an individual’s placement in and movement through the unknown.

Knit One, Pearl One

Like Come With Me, this series, which sees wool fibers woven through tree branches, also makes a kind of path. However, the material, Davis says, reflects ideas about connection between seemingly separate entities by the land itself.

Smoke and Mirrors Heathland

This series uses artificial trees in bright, unnatural colors to explore how nature can be turned into something artificial, and how something artificial can be thought of as naturally occurring.

Another Green World

These pot-like objects, covered in mosses and other natural vegetation, are part of this series on exploration. Davis was inspired by the “new worlds” discovered by explorers and scientists over the years. She based these strange items around the idea of discovering something new.

Islands

The dramatic lighting in this series turns pieces of the forest into floating “islands” that seem removed from the natural world. The darkness surrounding them seems potentially dangerous.

The Dwellings

These mysterious huts made from natural materials evoke the feeling of settlement and home, particularly in the wild, as well as the pleasure, according to Davis, of building. These structures are left in the forest to degrade naturally, similar to the work of another forest artist.

Stars

Davis’ most recent project doesn’t actually exist as the photos here show. To create these images, she combined images of the forest with images of stars from the Hubble Telescope. The combination of earthly and galactic spaces speaks to the idea that no matter how big or small, one can always explore.

In an interesting juxtaposition, sculptor Eva Jospin creates enchanting forests from cardboard. The Paris-based artist cuts and gules cardboard to craft dense, multi-layered and highly detailed forests with stunning depth of field. Gazing into the trees can nearly make a viewer fear getting lost in the woods.

The cardboard’s corrugated edges form a convincing texture for the bark of the trees, and the paper’s natural color works well with the forest theme. Jospin’s project is valuable not only as an intriguing piece of art, but also because it reminds us of the true origin of the paper products we so often take for granted.

This isn’t your average mobile home.

When looking for a new home, combing through the endless real estate listings is almost as frustrating as finding a seat on a packed flight.  Suggestion? Maybe you should start scrolling through the aircraft pages instead.

Oregon native Howard Bruce Campbell (no relation to Evil Dead actor Bruce Campbell…I think) purchased this retired Boeing 727 back in 1999 for the low, low cost of $100,000. Campbell then spent another $120,000 figuring out the logistics of site rent, wing and tail removal and transportation — bringing his total to a modest $220,000.

His website for the project details instructions for others looking to follow him down the runway of aviatrix abodes and even offers directions on how to stop by for a visit.

Lots of natural light options.

No need for a quirky doormat here.

“One cheese pizza please…We’re the second house on the left, you can’t miss us.”

What a view.

Plenty of guest seating!

Built-in light show every night.

All the comforts of home!

The one, um, small drawback: airplane bathrooms aren’t known for being too homey.

Those are not the ordinary pigs. Pigs of the New Forest protect the famous New Forest ponies from getting sick after eating the acorns. Every year hundreds of pigs are allowed into the forest to eat the acorns that fall on the ground.
