I've been admiring Richard Reame's arbosculptures for years, and I discover here even more ideas inspired by trees. Bravo! I've been working for several years with this fact that trees can integrate objects during their growth. On my website (www.primeau.qc.ca/coexis) I collected several pictures of what I call Gourmand Trees, or Coexistence Trees. Looking at these trees, I speak freely of Coexistence, because I want to artistically see these trees as a message from nature that illustrates tolerance, coexistence and acceptance of differences. And the most astonishing: When I visited Jerusalem in 1999, I discovered a Coexistence Tree where the Jewish and Arab quarters meet in the old city of Jerusalem. I wanted to see it not as a simple coincidence, but as a way to help peace emerge from the environment itself... The tree there should be seen as an example of peace and harmony between peoples and cultures. It is all the more powerful a symbol in view of the conflict in the region where it joins the two sides. To be continued... Great collection of marvels! I’ve been admiring Richard Reame’s arbosculptures for years, and I discover here even more ideas inspired by trees. Bravo!
