David Gasca

David Gasca is an environmental scientist and artist. He uses a range of different media from photography, video, mapping, sculpture, printing and painting to investigate the relationships between people, environment and place.

For the Oxford Map of Trees, he is using laser altimetry data for the city to provide a classic map view of the current urban treescape in Oxford.
