"The Root of Matter"

Year: 2023

Dimensions: 16"H x 10"W x 3"D

Materials: metal and wood

Remarks: A piece of found bark is embedded into a copper sheet with tin encasing it. The copper sheet is etched with marks mimicking the lines in the bark along with a patina that reflects the color and aging of the bark. Copper wire is twisted and treated to represent roots. The metal components of the sculpture place the bark back into a form and visual metaphor for the tree that it came from.
