The project story
Designed for the tree and the place.
A fork in a tree can become a design advantage. In this project, each upright section became an owl while the shared trunk kept the pair connected as one sculpture.
Aaron develops the pose and viewing angle around the shape of the stump. That approach preserves more of the original tree and creates a result that feels specific to the property.
