This sculpture was inspired by the Cape Lilac Tree. This freestanding sculpture incorporates the natural form and grain of the wood in order to highlight the beauty and importance of trees in the suburban environment.

Gratitude to The Tree

"I grow in your Gardens.
I am responsible for fresh Air.
 I am the warmth of your home in cold winter nights.
The protecting shadow when the sun burns.
I am the attic of your house. The top of your table.
I am the bed in which you dream your dreams.
I am the handle of your axe. The door of your house.
I am the wood of your cradle and your coffin.
I am your companion from beginning to end."

Please consider what you do to me
I am valuable to mother Earth and you

This beautiful log of Sheoak (spirit wood) comes from far down South of Western Australia. The outside was burnt to black coals in a bushfire in the forest, and was recovered as a dead tree. The sculpture stand retains and enhances the past life cycle, and brings the wood back to life. Playing the pentatonic tuned instrument, you feel the very soothing, strong vibration on your body. This is what a tree does for us when it is alive (and more...)

This Dreamharp is dedicated to the living trees in the forest
