Square as Metaphor
Interview with Milah van Zuilen
‘I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness…’ wrote Thoreau in 1851. Today, Milah van Zuilen echoes that call as both artist and forest ecologist-in-training. Walking the Hoge Veluwe, she gathers bark, soil and leaves into square grids that blur the line between art and ecology, and question our urge to tame the wild. This autumn, her fieldwork is on view in the exhibition Holy Shit: Art on a Changing Landscape at CODA Museum.
