The University of Nottingham’s Lakeside Arts complex today announced an exciting new commission for public art in its grounds by internationally-renowned artist Elpida Hadzi-Vasileva, and called for students and members of the public to join in its creation.

Using an ancient Japanese technique called shou sugi ban, two tree trunks will be darkened, traced with metallic patterns and motifs that reflect the city and University’s heritage, and installed in the grounds by the Lakeside Theatre.

The work will use fully environmentally-friendly techniques and the tree trunks will be sourced from those currently being removed from the University estate — due to poor health or having reached the end of their natural lifespan — as part of its arboretum project.
