<i>Silva</i>, is a contemporary art project that follows a thematic path from the microcosms of the forest floor, to the quantifying and processing of lumber, to the global distribution of forestry products. The <i>Silva</i> project consists of two exhibitions (<i>O Horizon</i> and <i>Booming Grounds</i>), a forthcoming publication, (<i>The Mill</i>), and a series of public events including artist talks, tours, readings, and performances.
