About the Artwork

Three small meditation chambers, each one encloses an isolated tree in a hard-surface plaza on a University Campus.

The two larger booths have small meditation benches, so that two people may sit (one in each space). The translucent walls of each triangular chamber reflect sound, so that, although the chambers are 30 feet apart, the two participants can share a quiet conversation.

Originally there were four trees, but one died, leaving an empty space, so the third booth is half-sized and twice as far away from the second (visually emphasizing the emotional perspective).

Artist Comment

This site-specific public sculpture counteracted the isolation of the hard brick-paved plaza of the bustling major university. First, this intervention drew attention to the isolated trees (one of which had died) and created a unity amongst them. Second, the chambers created a space for quiet meditation in communion with a tree; third, two chambers were set to create a unique sonic effect allowing conversation between trees (30 feet apart). The loose brushwork designs reflect the Asian aesthetic of the Japanese Cherry Blossom trees.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
