Blue Tree :

Claude Cormier

Claude Cormier received a degree in landscape architecture from the University of Toronto and a master’s degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He began his career working with Martha Schwartz before opening his own office in Montreal.

Cormier gives new life to a diseased tree slated for removal, decking its branches with 70,000 sky-blue Christmas balls. The landscape equivalent of a "Photoshop eraser" saturates the natural tree with the artificial, in a bid for total camouflage. But the opposite result occurs: Blue Tree stands out against the ever-changing sky, becoming a barometer for subtle fluctuations in light.
