A bit scary really... is a video piece in which a couple – a man and a woman – are attempting to fell a tree.
It’s not such a simple job for city-folks, it seems.
It’s a big spruce and a first attempt. But they’re giving it all they’ve got.
Will it fall, and if so, which way…?

“If you want to see how people get on with each other, get them to fell a tree.”
