I am intreagued by power poles. THey are traditionally made of trees, and are a human-constructed visual counterpart. Trees and power poles are often companions, and trees are pruned so that they can co-exist. I am interested in trees as metaphors for us humans, and trees that are shaped to fit within urban areas are very much like ourselves. They can be mamed and suffocated by their confines, or they can thrive within them if they are treated with care.
