The Radiant Tree
Did you know that trees communicate with other trees with their roots? I hope this desert tree finds some friends.
The mount is made from blue stain pine. Its milled locally in the Rocky Mountains. The tree has died prematurely due to a virus spread by beetles. It has an unusual blue gray stains.
The black lines are actually wood burns that have a naturally occuring fractal design. The technique is called Lichtenburg Wood Burning. I sent 12,000 volts of electricity through wood planks!
The tree was constructed by Repoussé , a sheet metal art technique. Copper sheeting was cut, pounded and incised to create the shape of the tree. I used solder to create its bark texture. I then colored the bark was by metal plating and patinas.
