Red Trees Object Art
studiovisit objects copy objects A certain number of shrouds made available. Our of 300 or so, 100 are preserved in a golden crate. Others that were badly worn became ribbons. One became a bag that holds golden leafs with messages on them. A few others became a dress. Some adorn books. Some transformed into a large quilt. A few that are left will be put to good use.  projectarttear A few glass tear sets. Mini tears filled with nature from each location. Red Trees quilt 112x120 objects copy My tear note rests in an ancient volcanic air bubble. A box filled with Red Trees. Different shrouds mark the phases. Phase 1 - Phase 5 This is my box to take on lectures. I call it my Lecture Box. Inside is everything I need to explain the project. Even gift ribbons. Each is tagged and people can touch. The difference between the phases become apparent. I saved the backing from Phase 3. A Red Trees remnant A few are made for others. A box full of sacred cloth. projects_redtrees_artforms4_01 _MG_6987 _MG_6989 _MG_6986 _MG_6984 _MG_6990 Red Flags shrouds pillows I am into eyes. Tall ones. And goldleaf. They sway.

  Items inspired by a journey through trees, tears, eyes, rivers, vessels, breaks and mends, and gifts.
  Relics and artifacts are packed away into custom crates. One day they can be united, there is a blueprint.




  The announcement to Negative to Positive is used on the outside of the 6-panal screen "Peace of Mind."
  The first panel is a pristine card which grows increasingly faint with each panel.
