A mature tree takes many years to grow but can be blown over instantly
by a strong gale. The bronze sitka spruce entitled 'Storm' - made
from recycled industrial waste metal - evokes a sense of anxiety
and vulnerability. It draws attention to the ever increasing problem
of changing and intensifying weather conditions. 'Storm' highlights
the often irreversible damage caused by severe climate change, while
at the same time paying tribute to the crucial eco-balancing role
of trees.
The
durability of bronze serves as a permanent reminder of the problem
of climate change and the need to deal with it and to restore what
is left of our natural environment.
