This steel and copper tree is around 16 feet tall. The stylized triangular trunk and branches are fabricated from steel sheet metal and painted with a spotted effect. The oversized leaves are formed from copper sheet and attached to steel stems. Despite being rather tall, the hollow sculpture is fairly lightweight. This abstract metal tree spent some time in downtown Durham, North Carolina, before being moved to its permanent location in the RTP area. It is an award winning student design, fabricated for Rhein Medall Communities. Steel and copper tree sculpture
