Bringing a metal tree to ‘life’, we will be filling out the bark (in form of recycled fabrics) to a 9-12 ft tall metal structure. There will be paint to paint fabrics, lights to string up and through, and bring your creative mind what ever physical thing you want to include (if any) to be a part of this public art piece.
Will be a part of the Nocturne Art Festival and shown for a week in the library after.
