Not All Trees Are Straight (View 1)

This sculpture was created as part of the Linfield College course Introduction to Studio, taught by Totem Shriver. Artist\u27s Statement Our world\u27s composition is both rhythmic and varied in nature. A tree is not comprised of one pattern, but of many. The death of a tree fosters a sapling, lending it knowledge and nutrients through its roots. A decayed tree can also provide protection to the many disregarded creatures. Though we cling to the belief in a natural order, such a uniform structure does not offer the unique beauty found in imperfections.https://digitalcommons.linfield.edu/avcstud_toothpick/1060/thumbnail.jp
