Using nature as a pedestal for sculpture, a dressed-up palm tree becomes a figure. The tree wears a collar that holds two classic teardrop earrings formed out of aluminum sheet. A concept I came up with in the early 80's as a photo montage and had the chance to realize to this extent in this temporary project "Hedges and Edges", 20 years later.

The project was originally on a palm in West Hollywood before moving to a darker forest in the Pacific Northwest.
