First post in 2026 (Getting my art growing again)

Image
My work place here in Thunder Bay has invited us to share a piece of art that represents our family. This unfinished work shows a tree growing in a harsh winter wind.  The bitter cold kills a number of the branches - all facing the wind.  The branches flowing with the wind continue, shaping the bent nature of the tree. The work is on a rock of Calcite - with visible crystals.  The roots of the tree hug the rock, anchored and stable.  The tree also seems to cherish this foundation. The Bonsai style for this type of tree is called Fukinagashi - or winswept.  Submitting to the windy blast (accepting one's reality an situation) enables a prospering and healthy growth.

These sculptures capture the intricate beauty of nature in a minimalist, metallic form. They are perfect for art lovers and those with an appreciation for bonsai aesthetics. Design and Craftsmanship: Each TAE Tree is meticulously crafted, demonstrating Warner’s eye for detail and passion for bonsai. The use of copper wire creates a sleek, modern look while maintaining the organic feel of a traditional bonsai tree.
