Acrobatic trees, gluttony pictures captured by artist Primeau...: Careful observations of trees maturing near obstacles lead me to a refreshing concept in sculpture. While growing, a tree can swallow most objects, thus warping the trunk in a stunning manner, harmlessly.
The diameter of a tree increases by successive additions of cells between the heart and the trunk of the tree. Thus the tree grows outwardly: it is this visible result of its growth that allows us to determine its age by counting the circles on a log. The tree, by extending its being around and beyond the obstacle, modifies its shape in an astonishing way, without presenting a threat to its own well-being.
