This presentation was put together by Sharen MacPherson as part of our team project/portfolio scavenger and is a great example of how portfolio can extend beyond the individual to the community itself. In this case the community is Truro Nova Scotia, and this slice of their portfolio shows the amazing work done to turn a tragedy into a triumph. The beautiful Elm tress of Truro were being destroyed by the Dutch Elm Disease and rather than simply levelling them all, some we chosen to be carved into historical and cultural icons in the comomunity. Enjoy!
