My first freelance article...
Since ages luminary have expressed their thoughts through the lis-some carvings made out of lithe or robust materials. Sculptures have worked on non-living materials like stone, clay, bronze but life is rediscovered in a more beautiful form by rendering living things like plants into an innovative piece of art. Cottage garden topiary formulas are the most ancient form of this living sculpture. Topiary is the art of growing dense leafy foliage which are then trimmed and prunned according to one’s artistic whim to incarnate it into a linguistic form of sculpture which personifies the master’s idea. earliest topiary has been found around 23-79 A.D. Ancient Romans used the cypress tree to carve out their creativity. Bonsai is the art of aesthetic miniaturizationof trees or semi-woody plants into bowls, pots or other containers. A famous bonsai sculpterhas showcased some wonderful pieces like cypress cut away bowls, cypress bonsai tree tea-pot, cypress bonsai tree cut away vase, pedestal jar, vase can etc.Turf or sod works has emerged in the era of 1960s and 1970s. The environmentalist are trying to raise awareness among the mass by transforming landscapes into a piece of art. these works restore tranquility at the waste sites and draw attention to land reclamation and urban restoration efforts. Trees are being shaped into chairs, ladders by horticulture practioners by weaving, grafting, training and shaping them into desired shapes. tree shaping has also been a part of fiction and art. Designs may be abstract,symbolic or functional. the Human Ecology Design team at the MIT is designing homes from the native tress. The ancient example of woody plant shaping are aeroponically cultured which are living root bridge built by war-khasi people of Cherapungi. In this era the gizmo freaks are designing the solar tree sculptures which is a perfect blend of art and science.
1. The solar tree gadget.
The solar tree gadget designed by Vivian Muller has 54 solar panels.
It can be used to charge cell phones, digital cameras, iPods through its solar panels.The branches are movable and so we can implement out creative mind in creating unique shape and design.
2. The singing ringing tree.
It is a musical sculpture made from galvanized steel pipes. When the wind blows the tree sings. it is a wind powered sound sculpture which resembles a tree set in the landscape of Pennine mountain range in Lancashire.designed by architechts Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu of Tonkin Liu. It is a 3m long construction . The harmonic singing qualities of the tree were produced by tuning the pipes according to their lengths.
3. A tree sculpture of gold.
Location : milford , ohio, united states.
Created by using 22,24 & 26 gauge gold color wire. 15″H x 9″W x 9″D. The end of each wire is hammered flat producing a delicate flat gold leaf. The bending and twisting roots cling to a mound of rocks and pebbles and all is bonded in sea sand. The sea sand mixture is painted in several coats of yellow, green and white India ink. The color and texture of the surface of the mound gives the feel and appearance of moss covered earth. The sculpture sits in a multi-colored glossy ceramic pot. All the colors used are “light fast” and will not fade.
Price: $435
Sculpted by Sal Villano.
4. The mirror ball tree.
Sculpted by Anish kapoor in London. It has mirror shine ball branches throughout the entire tree.
5. The anable tree sculpture in east river.
an aluminum tree sculpture, dubbed a tree of anable basinbuilt upon a floating island, set sail off Hunters Point. The project by Chico MacMurtrie was conceived to investigate and celebrate “the enigmatic, rapidly changing waterfront environment of Long Island City.” It also acts as a “condominium for birds”; the press release reads:
It is designed to emote the displacement of nature, specifically of migratory water birds by industrial activity and urban development.
This public art sculpture tells the story of NYC’s waterfront past, present and future, giving the birds not just a sanctuary, but a place in history. Responding to the ceaseless tension between permanence and transition that informs urban landscapes, the tree is deliberately not grounded — without roots it can float along the waterways, move with the ebb and flow of the tide, its metal branches softly blowing in the wind.
Anable Tree project participant - and Gothamist contributor - Gideon Fink Shapiro tells us that the site off 44th Drive in Long Island City is temporary. The tree may need move to another spot on the waterfront later on.
6. Elephant tower wooden structure.
Build by : philip bews: A tree sculpture at Bristol Zoo, Bristol, England. The initial shaping was done with a chain saw. The tree was diseased and would otherwise have been felled. Elephant tower sculpture based on wendy who died in 2oo2. elephant tower wooden sculpture
7. Basket tree:
To create the “Basket Tree”, Erlandson planted six sycamore trees in a circle, topped them all at one foot, then approach-grafted them together one to another to form the diamond patterns. For the first 2.5 meters (8′) he left an opening at the top. This specimen today is featured as the centerpiece of Gilroy Gardens.
8. 800 year old sculpture.
A very old tree was carved into a huge sculpture themed with the stories of the huaguo mountain in the journey to the west. The height of the tree is 6.8m and it is at least 800 years old. This delicate sculpture completed by 8 sculptors which consumed more than 6 months.
9. Located at the south end of the car park, take your time to view the striking Monterey Cyprus tree sculptures, featuring historical elements of Ringwood, the history of the Ringwood Primary School and our native fauna.These unusual and creative pieces of artwork were developed following the necessity to cut down the trees for public safety. Rather than remove these trees fully, they became a feature of Maroondah Federation Estate.This was achieved through working with the Ringwood Historical Society and the local community. Three themes were decided on and outlined, before the trees were carved by Rod Jones and Kevin Gilder (with community assistance).The first tree on the left features the historical elements of Ringwood. You can see a miner and an orcharder, symbolic of the use of land. Old Ringwood Town Hall and the Clock Tower are also present; both distinct elements of Maroondah’s history.
10. The moving tree sculpture by the artist Barnedo which is made up of brass and priced $20,000.
Tree sculpture is theperfect amalgamation of art and acience which helps us to transform the diseased trees into art forms or create gizmo solar trees. It obfuscates the observor without obliterating the nature.
