Don’t know about you, but I always get a sad feeling when I see discarded Christmas trees after the holidays. Like a single glove without its partner, seeing those slowing dying trees littered on the sidewalks is a finite if not a little cruel end to the year.

Lucky for us, artist Michael Neff is taking your unwanted trees and turning them into an awesome installation at the Knockdown Center in Maspeth, beginning this Saturday. Neff’s “Suspended Forest” features dozens of discarded trees he collected in Brooklyn displayed in the brick-walled warehouse-turned-gallery.

Neff has done this before in 2012 under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in Williamsburg. In a statement posted on his website, the artist says:
