In 1982 I imagined trees and buildings wearing jewelry.  In 2002 I put earrings on trees.  Each earring is 57" x 21" x 3".  A dressed up palm tree... using nature as a pedestal for sculpture.  The tree wears a collar that holds two classic teardrop earrings formed out of aluminum sheet.  Also I was able to installed Pierced Palm - no the palm in not actually pierced.  The sculpture simply encircles the tree and the armature is similar to standard application up-lighting in trees, adapted to hold the sculpture.
