THE STORY OF RED TREES
A quarter mile of fabric
An idea
New inspiration
Over three-hundred stumps with red covers nailed on
The aerial view
a shroud made by the sun
Dirt, mold, cocoons, bug holes, nail holes, nature
A quilt
Shrouds in my studio
The thought of an outdoor structure
The test on the roof
The metal water tower making use of varied sizes
What the wind can do
Much stitching came undone
The shrouds are purified in the lake water and dried on rocks
The four elements; earth, sun (fire), air (wind), and water
The element of ether contains all elements
