Sleeping Tree #1

2013/2008 | sculpture

Sleeping Tree exists in various versions. It first manifested itself as an ice sculpture in the park of a stately historic villa.Over the duration of the exhibition, the sculpture melted, leaving behind a circular pond.

A second version is made of black epoxy resin, semi-naturalistic, semi-alien. The life-sized tree, growing down into the earth through itself, as it were - «half tree stump, half volcanic crater» (Claudia Spinelli) - was on view in various outdoor settings. A version as a bronze sculpture, embedded in a planted environment, is being planned. link Sleeping Tree #2
