At first glance, Gemini is an impressive piece of Ponderosa pine, simple in design.
The thick bark that protected this old Ponderosa through wildfire now defines Gemini’s quiet authority. Charred fissures reveal the bark’s remarkable design, preserving the very features that once protected the tree through wildfire.
Move closer, and that simplicity gives way to extraordinary complexity. Thousands of bark plates, each unique in shape, texture, and color, create a landscape of remarkable detail. Polished agate introduces moments of symmetry and abstract contrast that quietly guide the eye through the composition. A scarred pocket holds a cluster of amethyst gemstones.
The longer you look, the more the sculpture reveals—not one bark plate is the same.
