"The Paper Tree" Heidi Hove Pederson
2005 stainless chromium steel, glue, wood, a base of stone (sunshade base), white paper and board.
this piece is really simple, but it is still fun. Pederson simply wrapped a frame with paper and voila! a tree. the shape is what i like about this piece. the base does not suggest anything about a tree, being too straight to be natural, while the branches give a more accurate representation of a tree. i like the mix between natural and unnatural shapes. i have been thinking about abstracting some of my pieces, and this is giving me that little push i need to want to follow through with that idea.
