Sculpture Installation Day

Sculpture Installation Day

A behind the scenes video of the Graftings 1 installation day for this new sculpture at the studio for the final finishing touches. “The source tree for Graftings 1 is truly remarkable. Most people would pass by it without a second glance. It is an unassuming, smallish, Hawthorn. Solid hard wood, thorned branches. A tree that can grow in difficult conditions. And this particular tree has managed to survive along the shore of Lake Michigan. It stands defiantly on the lakefront flourishing in the summer and withstanding fierce winter storms. It is the ability to survive against all odds that makes this tree majestic.”
