Arts: Nature: Found and exhibited at Art Gallery of Ontario


Hat Tip to Justin Cook.
Thanks to 'Reg Sadler for his foto
Very special thanks to sculptor Giuseppe Penone
for his stunning work at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO).

"Artist Giuseppe Penone carefully removes the rings of growth to reveal the ‘sapling within’. By carving out the inside of a tree trunk and leaving the knots in place, they eventually emerge as tiny limbs. "


This resonates in so many ways at once, in my mind.
