Description
Materials: nickle copper wood Australian burl pewter brassMy metal trees are inspired by nature and it's use of mathematics (google 1.618 and fractals). The leaves are hand or laser cut, the bases are hand made for each individual tree. I have made dozens of these and still do. This one in particular is a four way branch system (the trunk length is reduced by the golden ratio as are all subsequent branchings (look at your hand... distance from wrist to first knuckle, to the next knuckle and so on. Each of the measurements are a reduction of .618. It also describes the spiral of the galaxy and a nautilus shell and was first discovered by the Greeks). Prices range from $200 and up.

Thanks guys. I'm really surprised at the response to this piece. It has received twice as many favorites as the rest of my work combined. I had this one in my studio for several years until a couple visited after a strange night at the bar and they fell in love. Working class like myself, they couldn't even begin to afford it but I could see it really meant something to them... so on a whim I gave it to them. Made me really happy to know it has a good home. It's also a good feeling to give something like this to the kind of people that can't afford "art". The 1024 leaves (to math geeks that should mean something) alone cost me $200, and I had about 100 hours in it but I thought, "fuck it". It was worth it to see the woman tear up.
