MotherTree design process on the FireFly blog

owen william fritts April 23, 2015

We have been working away on the MotherTree for the FireFly Festival main stage. The design has gone through five major revisions and we are not at a place where we are building components for its assembly. The team at FireFly has been documenting the progress so rather than repeat what they have done I thought I would just give you the link to their blog here, enjoy:

the final configuration and massing details always emerge on-site as the sculpture comes to life responding to light, view corridors and energies of the adjacent surroundings.

always drawing, always making...

Pretty much every day of every week I awake and need to either get to my sketchbook, my chisels, my saws or my jewelers torch. The visuals come in as I sleep and during time spent in water. My responsibility is to capture as much of this as possible. If I do, more comes in... if I slack the river dries up. So I am always in Flow, always in some form of creating something or other. No its not exhausting, its invigorating and I look forward to each new "download".

travel, I have to move and travel...

I've found that if I set still too long I get wanderlust. I've traveled so much in my life around this planet that it is an essential ingredient to my continued happy and productive existence as a human being.
