Natural Edge
From the top down to the base, I carefully positioned and sculpted continuously flowing edge-cut and cross-cut bark to attractively reveal the life-filled timber of each fallen, rescued tree - naturally elegant sculptural art.

Foundation. As we discipline spectrum and depth of virtue within ourselves, the virtues wisely matures our nature. The mind becomes clean and tranquil; we see and understand with greater clarity, we live in an elevated meditative state. What we think, say and do blossoms into fruitful excellence, inimitable. The quality of this labor gives rise to positive living. ~ mjs
