| | This giant tree was originally harvested in the 1800’s from this region. The old growth tree root system is cast in Bronze and treated with a special hematite silver paint. It metaphorically speaks of transparency of government and exposing the hidden infrastructure (hidden roots) of the city (electric, water, sewage etc) and relates to historical/ecological roots of the city. A companion piece directly behind it is a living Nurse Tree. | | | |
