Andrew Shoben founder of art collective greyworld has instigated a work in collaboration with other artists around the globe to create "The Clockwork Forest" in Grizedale, Cumbria . By twisting a turn key affixed to various trees music emerges echoing the forests natural ambiance. The work does not harm the tree's as it was commissioned by the Forestry commission, England. Their goal was to increase the interaction between the park goer and the natural environment.It is interesting that in the present economic climate, the national forestry commission is able to fund such art projects. Being aware of the flow and exchange of funding between different commissions is an important objective for emerging artists.
