A second growth forest is one that has re-grown after it has been heavily logged or clear-cut. The exhibition Second Growth explores the "second life" of trees. Using salvaged materials as well as finely crafted furniture and hand carved objects, Stranger's installation invokes the life cycle of a tree. The artist strives to have as little impact on the environment as possible and gives discarded, neglected wood a new existence, creating a new experience of the same wood. Influenced by the structure of trees, buildings and animals, his work exemplifies restraint, simplicity and harmony.

This exhibition is supported by Gerrie Smith, Fiona Chalom, Margi Denton, and the PMCA Board of Directors.
