The Trees: "Worry Trees"

scroll down for more

Worry trees , Installation studies in collaboration with the students of Head Royce Lower School, Oakland, CA, 2003.

Materials: paper, acrylic paint, staples, yarn and tape.

 

In making this installation, students and I discussed how the kickball gets stuck in these trees. Later, we use two trees in the Lower School courtyard as containers for the things we care about, the things we worry about and don't want to lose. These "stuffed paintings" represent our treasured objects and loved ones.
