It's all ofthat, and more: a tree of lifelinking heaven and earth as itsbranches reach to the sky, andits roots plunge deep. The artistdraws his lively images and intricatepatterns, then with hammerand chisel cuts, shapes, andcontours the piece to its completion.This traditional art ofconverting oil drums into wallsculptures is a true mark of bothman's imagination and hisresourcefulness in the face ofdire economic circumstances.
