Touch Art Experience

 Hi all, Here is the finished product.  You got to see the unfinished process while I was twisting the branches.  I call this piece Seat of Tenderness.  It is a tree at a tender age - sitting comfortably and peacefully on the ruins of the past.  What is your past?  How do you sit with it?   Sounds like it doesn't fit - but I'm glad that my God has given me a happy seat in the midst of trauma. Enjoy the tree.

This piece of brick had such an amazing shape that I saw a tree on it right away! I have a tree that started with this rock.  You also get to see my messy work-bench! The price of solder is going up!!! 50$ per pound!  

This piece is called "Search for Light." The uppermost branch stretches out in a search for the sun's warmth and energy.  For me this is a metaphor for our human desire to find significance and truth.  My personal search for truth has found a place to rest - a place in the shade of an ancient tree on an ancient hill - the of the skull - and the shade of a cross. This piece is on an amazing rock - Quartz and Granite.  

Hi Everyone.  I am glad this piece is finally done!  It took forever.   I started working on it in 2022 and it has been dragging along.  The rock is from Kingsport Nova Scotia.  It was chosen by my daughter who saw beauty in it.   I called it "Tangle of Relationship" because it tells the story of three people - one outsider - weeping like a willow.  Relationships can be messy and complicated.    

There isn't much to say about this piece.  I actually find this tree a little boring.  I hope someone will like it.  It isn't fun being someone nobody likes.  It is a good thing this tree isn't alive.
