Beach near Vancover. Dried, nailed and glued together, then cut into geometric forms.

• The Japanese artist Naoko Ito from New York has made a great piece of art using only a big tree branch and jars.

• Flauna Shelf Series• Peter Marigold

• This piece was designed after the designers, Wokomedia, went to work in Sri Lanka, and they experienced a culture shock. They wanted to take a reminder of the feeling of the flooded environment home so they transformed the image of “partially submerged trees” into shelves.

• This stick sculpture was commissioned by the Spencer Art Museum to be constructed on the University of Kansas Campus by artist Patrick Doughtery
