Quiet Strength in Living Growth

Quiet Strength in Living Growth is a three-dimensional sculpture measuring 20 by 68 by 4 inches, crafted from wool and silk to evoke the look and feel of a birch tree trunk. Its form is elongated and cylindrical, closely mirroring nature with precise textural details that capture the distinctive white bark, including subtle horizontal lines and dark knots. Areas of green moss and deeper shadows enrich the surface, giving the piece a quiet, lived-in presence. Suspended in space, the work invites viewers to appreciate both its tactile qualities and the calm resilience it embodies, reflecting the enduring spirit of old trees standing in stillness and growth.
