28”wide x 23”high x 24”deep. This magnificent wind swept tree sculpture is
created using 18, 20, 26 and 28 gauge steel wire. The wire used is not galvanized so it has oxidized
(rusted) giving the sculpture an amazingly realistic weathered appearance. The tenacity of this tree
is emphasized by its massive root system firmly planted into a base of sand, rocks and pebbles bound
onto a 1’ thick slab of slate. The sand and pebbles are painted in yellows and greens, using India ink,
