*Hervisions x Ayesha Tan Jones* A site-specific, sonic augmented reality encounter with a digital tree sprite that tells tales of the tree's past, present and future. 🟣 Artwork live until 19 July and August 2021 🟣 <https://furtherfield.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9d227b6380a87c752902c8a55&id=a2aa6284e6&e=b6ab26b568> Ayesha Tan Jones at Furtherfield Gallery. Photo courtesy of HERVISIONS. *Based on a Tree Story* opens a communication portal between visitors and a London plane tree dubbed the Trunk Triplets Tree, Furtherfield Gallery’s next door natural neighbour, allowing them to exchange stories and share wisdom. This encounter is produced when *Ayesha Tan Jones*’s work is activated through an *augmented reality app*, with the audience utilising their mobile phones to access the artwork and an audio experience. Once you are at *Furtherfield Gallery,* you will need to scan the *People’s Park Plinth QR code* and walk towards the tree with three trunks wearing an amulet - situated North of the gallery. Scan the *amulet* with your phone and it will reveal *the Sprite *of the *Trunk Triplets Tree* The Sprite is the spirit of the tree, it will teach you the rhythm to connect with the earth beneath your feet. 🍃 Follow the Sprite around the park as it unfolds the tree’s fable.

The tree’s fable was collaboratively created based on local research sources, site visits and discussions with *Ricard Zanoli,* Finsbury Park’s Ranger. For this commissioned *‘taster’ work, Ayesha Tan Jones *initially hand sculptured the Sprite utilising clay found in the earth at *Finsbury Park*. Its form echoes patterns often found on the barks of *London Plane trees*. This sculptural work was then modelled into the three dimensional digital sculpture that appears on your screen when you access the artwork. This work is commissioned by *HERVISIONS,* a curatorial agency showcasing and supporting femme and non-binary artists. The first iteration of this work developed for *The People’s Park Plinth*, showcases the multi temporal stories of the *London Plane tree*. If selected in a *public vote* in *August 2021*, this artwork will be produced at a larger scale and the audience will have access to a spiritual trail around *Finsbury Park*, where clues will lead them to other local trees, Sprites and their stories. <https://furtherfield.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9d227b6380a87c752902c8a55&id=29ca0bda27&e=b6ab26b568> Image: View of *Based on a Tree Story *at Furtherfield Gallery.
