There are certain elements in nature that are indelible. From the forest: The Laetiporus mushrooms that grow throughout most of the world; commonly known as ‘Chicken of the Woods’ were one the inspirations for this piece. You may recall seeing these on hikes or even in your own yard and how they populate in a uniform structure often scaling the side of a tree or dead wood.
From the sea: a seashell, not one in particular but, moreover, all of them. Strolling along the wet sand what have the lapping waves brought to shore.
Edges framed in steel and filled with concrete that tapers towards the top. The base section an arch of steel and concrete.
