Tree of Beauty
ABI-JEAN HENDRY, 2022
Tin can, Clay, Gems, paints, Glitter.
17 x 8 x 8 cm.
About the artwork…
My artwork conveys the beauty of wildlife and how we take it for granted. Frequently referencing the Amazon Rainforest and visually presenting how beautiful nature can be. The original concept of my design was to be a tree with flowing leaves that glow that perpetuated the idea that the wilderness is breathtaking, though I decided to make it simple by designing a tree of clay with gems and glitter. The tin that holds the tree resembles the tree’s life, decorated with big and small, colourful gems with green glitter surrounding the whole tin. Inside holds the tree that was sculpted with clay and painted dark brown with gems portraying green, vibrant vines and beautifulness. I hope to convey the beauty of nature and how delicate it can be, while we as humans should take a better understanding of how important nature is to not only ourselves but to animals.
