A Tree in a Sculpture

By Naomi Seki     

A wooden sculpture using douglas fir and a birch tree side by side comparing the natural & manmade.

 

Concept Description

We finally learned to live and let live. When will the tree grow taller than the sculpture?

The piece compares the natural and manmade, organic and geometrical – the breathing and quiet between a tree and a sculpture.

Naoimi Seki made a work as being a tree in a sculpture, 500 or 720cm high, 270cm wide, 560cm deep by wood as she wanted to compare natural and manmade, organic and geometrical, breathing and quiet between a tree and a sculpture.

Materials Description

Made from Douglas Fir, the sculpture is 7.2m tall, 2.7m wide and 5.6m deep. The tree is a birch which is about 3 metres tall. This tree was chosen as it had to be strong enough to survive every season in Lough Boora Parklands and this type of tree can.

 

Come see the amazing sculptures inspired by Lough Boora’s landscape and heritage.
