I created this “apple tree” this week. Got some great feedback from my peeps and the amazing Vivian Beer. Looking at ideas of people’s imposition on nature, gravity, whimsey, place, and qualities of form and color.
By the way, I just learned from Michael Pollan's book The Botany of Desire, that Johnny Appleseed was basically the pied piper of hard cider on the American Frontier. That little factoid just makes my day!
New images from my installation at North Bank Artists Gallery in Vancouver, Washington. The show is up until June 28, 2014. Go check it out! Topolier. 2014. 8x14x8 feet. Glass, twine, steel, dye, cheesecloth, burlap, paper, cardboard, and wood.
