Living Bark 2

When a tree grows, the bark slowly moves along with the trunk. As the tree grows and thickens, the bark fractures and creates an irregular texture. This process is too slow for the human eye to witness. The work ‘Living Bark 2’ shows a movement by nature that originated in the mind of a human.
