Finnish Artist Turns Fallen Aspen Trees Into Giant Colored Pencil Sculptures

Helsinki, Finland artist Jonna Pohjalainen attended an Environmental Art workshop at the Pedvale Open Air Museum in 2006 and carved a collection of local fallen aspen trees them into giant colored pencil sculptures. According to Jonna, her Color Pencils work "shows us how it is connected with its surroundings and how it changes during different weather conditions and times of the day."
