"Tree of Tidings"

 

Commissioned artwork for DART Forest/Jupiter Train Station

The Tree of Tidings is a 25' x 12' x 12' mixed metal and glass kinetic sculpture located at the entry platform of the Dallas area Forest/Jupiter train station. It has two main kinetic elements which revolve in opposing directions.

There are also secondary "twirling" elements located on each of the five lower branches. The artwork is designed as a tree, to represent the agricultural past of the area. In the tradition of a prayer tree or wheel, the body is decorated with tidings and wishes for a good journey, as well as welcoming phrases in 32 different languages, to greet and send off safely the diverse cultural population of the area.
