Generations is an illuminated, magnified oak tree branch: a segment that would fit in your hands is now scaled up to stand ten feet high, twelve feet wide and eight feet deep. Meant to echo intergenerational connections, it is inspired by the ancient proverb “From tiny acorns come mighty oaks”. Most of the media used is upcycled, to reduce waste and environmental impact.
