The tree must have roots an a trunk!!!! This is the foundation of my tree. Not much in this picture, is it?!? This is actually how it looked last week Rather plain and unassuming. Very lonely and uninspired as well. That goes for the tree and my personal state of mind. To tackle this project and make something as sensuously inspired as my tree paintings are is a monumental transformation.
The rolled corrugated needed to be glued and taped just to stand on its own....well at 42" high it could still stand.....but if you look at the photo, you can see how very fragile it is already becoming. Taping it and curving it, cutting it and splicing it, with the corrugated falling back on me, toppling over and then, just when I would think I had it in position, it would collapse or snap apart, and I would have to start over with its erection. Ever try to get a hollow tube to stand fast and hard?!? It's mind just was not into it. It and I needed a muse and My Muse had yet to arrive!
