“Tree of Life”"I made this sculpture as a tribute to life," confides John Barrow. "The different colors represent the joy of life, of feeling, and of having hope for the future. Its optimism is contagious."
I saw this wooden sculpture properly named “Tree of Life”, and
I knew that I had to own it. The colors, design, organic shape and the story
behind it called to me. I have wanted to travel to Peru for a while now, but
unfortunately life took its turns in different directions. Now I have this
beautiful sculpture that allows me to escape and draw inspiration just by
looking at it.
The sculpture named “Tree of Life” measures 8" H x 6.5" W x 2", and is made of Ishpingo, cedar, and mahogany wood which is stained with natural dyes. It is made up of several pieces of wood that fit together like a puzzle. One solid piece would probably look nice, but this technique of mixing different wood, colors shape, geometry, give it a uniqueness that I have never seen before. Colors: Red, Brown, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, Orange, Yellow
Since the sculptures are hand made, there will be some small subtleties that may differ. For the most part the overall shape will be the same, as will the colors; but some of the pieces may be a little rounder, while others may be a little pointier, some shades alittle darker, and others lighter. These slight difference add to the uniqueness of the piece. I feel as the piece was made specifically for me.
