The Tree Project Sculptural Installation, designed, built and installed by Karle H. Murdock, was commissioned by Pedlars Village Interiors in the spring of 2011. Installed in a private condominium owned by Chris and Megan Powers. Karle was commissioned to design and build a sculpted installation, specifically for the hallway, consisting of interlocking tree-like branches that extend approximately 22 feet, turning 4 corners. The Trees surround the front foyer door then travel around a corner, down a 10 foot long hallway curving around the last corner another 24 inches, toward the master bedroom. The hallway height is 9 feet. Above the 7 feet height, the 'branches' expand outward across the hallway ceiling in jumbled profusion. The depth of branches in the 44" wide hallway does not exceed 8 inches below the 7 foot mark. There are 6 main 'tree trunks' which have LED strips hidden in the back. When illuminated, the wall behind the branches glows brightly.

There was a secondary commission of "Outdoor Trees" which are waterproof and portable. They sit in a raised sand box just outside of the entry way.
