shellac layerTree Project - Tree E, assembled in studio and then cut to insure tight fit of the branches -

All of the Trees were built lying on thier backs because the studio ceiling was 8 feet and not 9 feet -

None of the trees could be paired with its neighbor until the final installation -

Some of the branches had to be removed when it was discovered that the hall closet doors opened into the hallway, the composition survived these changes -
