Tree: Reflections of the city	Artist: Jonna Pedersen Web: www.jonnapedersen.dk	Make your bid on this tree here!
To walk around my tree is like walking in the city where the rooftops are high, with life in the windows and happening streets. The tree is based in the city during the Holidays. On the same time that the city is being decorated and through this absorbing Christmas, my happy xmas tree is absorbing both the city and Christmas. Here you see a open sandwich shop and a familiy business two places around the city, where man has left a trace of it soon being Christmas. The tree is mirroring the city during Christmas.	In my art I work in involving our culture and is fascinated in documenting cityscapes, which tells a story about people. My motive the world circles around is the unheeded, that which is a part of peoples everyday life, but very few notice. For the one who buys the tree will also recieve a copy of my book: Documentary “Jonna Pedersen Painting 2006-2010″ by Trine Ross and Bente Jensen.

She documents cityscapes from New York and Copenhagen and thereby tells a story about people from their marks. Her universe also tells about still life where the fascination comes from dailylifes packages. Here she shows us the life through the marks of the culture.
