The following images are of an ongoing autobiographical piece I began in 2007. This woman made of branches is life size to my proportions (5ft2″), is continually documented in different settings and seems to always parallel my life in some manner. While I was in my final semester at the School of The Museum of Fine Arts Boston instead of working in the studio I worked across the street from the school around a pond and park. I bound together branches I found throughout the park using wire and vines and worked through all weather conditions. After considering how many class hours I had attended that semester, I estimate this piece took me 40 hours. Some of these images were taken in snow, some in school display with ashes and torn photographs, and others at Giving Tree Gallery in E. Sandwich MA. See below the progression of this work as it is was built and is always transforming…
