A carved stone tree mounted against a dark wall: a thick trunk with deeply textured bark spreads into bare, forking branches, assembled from several carved sections; a serpent coils around the base of the trunk and winds up behind it, its hooded head leaning out from behind the trunk, and separate carved fruits hang in the spaces between the branches.

Eden Tree, NYC

Limestone · 2005 · Restaurant, New York, NY

The tree of the Garden, carved in sections and assembled across a wall for a New York restaurant, circa 2005 — bare branches and textured bark, the serpent coiled at the root and peering out from behind the trunk, and the fruit set apart in the open spaces of the branches.
