Responding Trees

This is a collage I've just completed, as part of an arts programme I am involved in. The collage is in response to The Tree, a painting by Giacometti.

My response is about connections. Family, grids (think Milton Keynes), lines (creating grids). They all link together, and actually when you begin to research your family tree, you very quickly realise how we are all connected.

The collage, therefore,  is constucted from squares of paper and, reflecting the angular appearance of the painted tree, the small sticks represent the lines.

A little bit of paint to blend it all together, and Hey Presto.
