i was not able to attend this fiel trip, but i do know that Miles Neidinger has a massive recent piece that just really captures (what i think is a) tree but its made up of tiny drinking straws and clear/black rope. its officially called "the anatomy of the palace of wisdom" but i think it should be called the drinks of life. "the marriage of heaven and hell" (which Neidinger references to his piece) i think really descibes his piece.
