Tree Kisses is an interactive performance with nature in a dense urban environment. After a heavy application of lipstick, the artist will kiss trees along 14th Street, leaving a residue of this momentary interaction. The gesture is a small one that may go unnoticed by many passersby. While juxtaposing nature and culture materially, I will perform a ritual of communing with nature through a familiar means. The lipstick imprints left behind will be visible through the duration of the festival.
