With thanks to the giving tree.

This tree started as a community project at HCMC (Hennepin County Medical Center)

I first out lined the tree and then cut out hundreds of leaves and bark pieces to bring with me.

We set up a table in the hallway in front of day surgery and invited any one who passed by to participate, we had over 45 participants. I brought it back to my studio and finished it up.

This piece will hang out side the day surgery waiting room. I hope it will bring hope and solice to the people waiting.

Sneak peek of what's next for inside post surgery.
