Memory Tree by Mark Gubb

An adolescent tree sapling planted as a communal public artwork, where local residents are invited to come and tie or chain items of sentimental value to it.

As the tree grows, the items will slowly become consumed by the expanding tree and become part of its fabric, forever. A living time-capsule.

Hiraeth by Mark Gubb

A digital screen/monitor attached to a computer showing every tweet, in real time, that contains the word or hashtag ‘hiraeth’ in it.

Hiraeth is Welsh word meaning a deep longing for something, particularly one’s home.

Often described as an untranslatable word, as there is no direct translation in English, I’ve just translated it for you.
