from the upper branches of an oak tree bundled lines of various weed descend out to the perimeter of the root system of this tree. This all organic work focus on the beauty of the tree and the land around it. this is opening day in the evening of September 3rd about 5 pm. the woman came to see my work while I was photographing it..she was not aware of me...and I wanted to see what she did and how she looked at my art..
It was cool to see how the lady was able to interact with this sculptor. I can't imagine how long it must have taken to make the ropes. I also noticed the way the grass was trimmed...just adding to the whole sculpture!
