Artist Curtis Killorn helps nature a little. When a tree is long dead and unable to flourish by itself – a common sight in the hot and dry Colorado mountains – Killorn gives it a new look with strikingly bright paint. He works quite carefully to protect the surrounding ground, and uses water-based outdoor latex in a range of colours. Dead trees are brought back to life to be noticed again like public art pieces. Killorn’s goal is to create beauty where there is already beauty, highlighting the strengths of a tree now dead. Colorado is not his only workplace; he performs during this years’ Burning Man festival and painted trees in Sydney, Australia.
