Tree Sculpture

This tree never needs watering, never sheds it leaves.  The tree sculpture is named "Ferment" created by Roxy Paine.  The sculptures is made of stainless steel and sits  on the lawn of the Nelson Adkins Museum  This was  another of the highlights of our fieldtrip.











It shines gloriously in the summer!!


The tree sculpture stands 56' tall.

Paine has 24 tree sculptures around the world and Kansas City is proud to have one in her own yard!!

    Fascinating.
    The steel makes the sculpture so regal.
    My Hubby and I call real trees shaped like this one "Poetic"
