Medusa Trees

Trees bring me much solace during my many long hikes. They represent life, longevity, and inspire wonder by their immense size. These sculptures made of twisted intertwining rebar, reflect my anger at the loss of millions of trees due to drought, extreme heat, wildfires, and loss of habitat. The single 23 K gold leaf bird’s nest nested in the tangled branches highlight our concurrent loss of birds, and symbolically holds out the hope for new life.
