Apple-tree sculpture with light


 Found this old photo of a sculpture i constructed for an exhibition, 'Art Age' i curated back at college in 2003 

It is reclaimed apple tree branch that someone had felled. I wanted to celebrate them. Apple trees are said to be considered symbols of peace.
''The apple-tree has been celebrated by the Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, and Scandinavians. Some have thought that the first human pair were tempted by its fruit. Goddesses are fabled to have contended for it, dragons were set to watch it, and heroes were employed to pluck it'' taken from wikipedia
