Lifeforce; Gifts from the Rondout Creek

This installation was created along the Rondout Creek on the same site as Lifeforce Mandala. Composed of limbs and branches from white birch trees, it became a woven tepee structure, integrated with living trees. A white birch bench invited contemplation and repose by the creek's edge. Interestingly, mushrooms and other growth regenerated upon the dead tree components.
