The Spinning Tree: Indoor and Outdoor Work in Wood Decorated with Polychrome Ropes
At the heart of the artistic world, certain works stand out not only for their aesthetic, but also for the depth of their message and the unique approach of their creator. The Spinning Tree, in all its polychrome splendor, is such a piece, offering a reflection on nature, time and memory.
At first glance, the Spinning Tree appears as a wooden sculpture meticulously wrapped in ropes of varying hues. But behind this first impression lies a deeply thoughtful and intentional artistic approach.
The artist, by choosing to cover a tree with multicolored ropes, wanted to create a symbiosis between the natural and the artificial, the past and the present. Each rope represents not only a palette of colors, but also a period, a season, a moment in the life of the tree. It is a way for the artist to express that each moment, however fleeting it may be, leaves a trace, a memory, an imprint on us.
The use of ropes is also symbolic. Like the strings of a musical instrument, they vibrate, resonate and tell stories. For the artist, the tree is this instrument, and each string is a melody, a song of nature. It is a reminder that nature itself is a symphony, and that each element, each living being, plays a unique note in this grand composition.
The artist’s approach thus aims to capture the very essence of life, to show that every moment counts and to invite observers to take a moment to reconnect with nature, their memories and beauty of the ephemeral. The Spinning Tree is not just a sculpture; it is a journey through time, a celebration of life and an invitation to contemplation.
