The Tree Beacon sculpture was first exhibited at the Royal Academy Of Art Summer Exhibition. It is developed at the intersection of art and science, where forestry techniques have been used by the artist to scan the most complex trees, recreating majestic icon’s of the rainforest.
Tree Beacon is an interactive artwork, one that can be walked through. At its center it captures and refracts sun-light, splitting it like a prism, producing a kaleidoscopic maze at its core. Rising up from its elegantly curving root systems to spires that reach for the sky.
The larger monumental work will be fabricated with a unique method of a hand shaped and welded sculpture, keeping the carbon footprint of this recycled bronze sculpture to a bare minimum. This environmentally conceived highly refined technique is an evolution of traditional cast sculpture.
