In this series of posts Artist Andrew Amondson invites us to connect with nature through a series of video invitations, encouraging us to get outside and explore our landscape in creative ways, both independently and collaboratively.
Andrew’s Virtual Forest Instagram takeover formed part of the Forest of Imagination – a free and open event to all ages that encourages participants to explore an alternative experience of nature in the city, and see the contemporary arts come alive in this outdoor setting.
Forest of Imagination is an evolving project that runs each summer, showcasing a wide range of events and participatory activities in the historic city of Bath.

Introduction To Forest Of Imagination by Andrew Amondson
Like a Forest, we are all connected and we use our social networks to share information and inspiration. Andrew believes that it is our connectedness, to each other and to nature, in concert with our creativity, that will generate the answers to this climate crisis and the question of how we make a better world for us all.
In this series of posts artist Andrew introduces us to Forest of Imagination and encourages you to do small acts of creativity in nature throughout your day.
