Tree of Life
2016
Fiberglass
This tree of life bears body-shaped fruit in various stages of ripeness. This is a celebration of life or perhaps these are the ‘strange fruit’ jazz singer Billie Holiday referred to in her 1938 song: the victims of lynch mobs. Birth and death grow on the same tree.
Tree of Life (2016) was part of the following exhibition(s):
