Freshly Pressed

Branching out

 

Sculpture Garden in front of the Hirsshorn

This amazing tree was created by  Roxy Paine,

an artist who creates ambitiously large, sculptural,

stainless steel dendroids. Or branching systems.

I first discovered him, after driving on a dusty back road here in the hills of NY.

Where, in various states of assembly,

lay a multitude of metal limbs. Twisted and organic seeming. 

An outdoor work or staging space of his.

Completely inspiring.

Then found him again while biking through D.C.

This beautiful blue sky overhead.
