Well... some background, I suppose, would be nice. My class was broken into 3 groups of 3 and were sent off into the wild world of our campus, all 3500 acres of it, to create a project that was Andy Goldsworthy... er, worthy (i.e. make art out of nature.)
We (Carly, Julia, and I) just happened to arrange to meet on the first day of rain, 33 degree weather, and ice (the weather gods were either blessing us or making fun of the drowned-cat-misery we were put through... who knows.) The trees were covered in silvery ice and the day was generally cold and dreary... but we decided to strategically nestled rocks and twigs in the branches and nooks and crannies. I think of the tree as art from a design perspective, but if you really wanted to go metaphorical, the tree resembles the universe with it's sweeping branches and objects mirroring stars... or as Carly saw it, "rock babies with their ice mother." Take you pick or completely rewrite the book.
Rocks in Trees...
More Rocks...
And More...
Trees in Trees...
Tree Fruits... or Something Else? They Look Like "Stars."
So...Andy Goldsworthy worthy? Bah! Is it simply Andy Goldsworthy?
