Last Stand. A tree established and rooted with barbed wire set on an old 8x8 1800's wood beam. Trees have the sweet ability to endure, depicted by life long scars from fencing to driven spikes. Imagine all that energy being absorbed by the wood until the eventual outcome of absorbing too much. Note: The work presented here could not have been accomplished without deforestation, farms turning into cul-de-sacs and, of course, greed. When barbed wire becomes a rarity and when you find it discarded on roadsides, the land and wildlife, which it once protected, is now vulnerable, waiting for the sound of chainsaws and bulldozers. Pice has been showcased in the AnnMarie Sculpture Garden from Feb 2023 - April 2023 as part of the show: Breaking Ground Art About the Earth!
