LIGHTMAN: A REGENERATIVE ART IN NATURE'S LANDSCAPE by John Grande 15 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES 21 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 23 THE TREE M USEU M Preface: Exchange – Changing the Landscape FALL IS SLIPPING AWAY, AND WINTER IS STARTING TO MAKE ITS PRESENCE FELT. THE hoarfrost has formed a white blanket over the land. The trees have shed their covering and you can clearly see their structure. The moss, bright green, is plumped up gathering strength for the coming winter. It is November in this quiet spot in the Muskokas called the Tree Museum. We are constantly dissecting the essence/idea of landscape, but landscape is a concept that is infinitely variable. Landscape, like beauty and art, is in the eye of the beholder. Experience, his- tory and cultural background all play a part in how we experience and or perceive landscape. Yet what never ceases to amaze me is how, each year, as another group of artists install their works, they open up new possibilities and new ways of seeing the land/scape.
